When I was a Marine I knew lots of guys who bought crap at these stores.

None of them were financial geniuses anyway, and I doubt that their defaults on their $1,500 futon ruined them any more than the rest of their poorly thought-out purchases/decisions.

You sign an agreement when you buy something on credit at these places. Yeah, the terms suck, but there is no gun to your head.
