Notes et exemples originaux (en anglais)

Leo divided his payment by four. Unfortunately, he did not multiply his salary.

In this Fiscal Nonsense episode, a pair of headphones becomes three overlapping instalment plans. Maya, Nina, Alex and Ben help Leo discover why a small payment is not the same as a small price.

Follow a worked calendar example: $100 headphones, $120 shoes and a $200 chair. Two busy Fridays bring $105 of repayments into a pay period with only $80 available after essentials. The lesson: check the full price, the whole schedule, and what is already promised to your future paychecks.

We also cover interest-free offers, possible fees, autopay, refund checks, and what to do if you are already juggling payments. All amounts and schedules are fictional examples; actual agreements and protections vary.

CHAPTERS 00:00 Only $25 today? 00:17 The price has sequels 01:06 The calendar ambush 01:55 Interest-free is not consequence-free 02:29 Ask your future self 02:58 Already juggling payments? 03:36 One calendar, full price

THIS WEEK’S CHALLENGE List every remaining payment across all providers, then compare the due dates with your income, essentials, and existing commitments before accepting another plan.
