Layaway is Back

First we reported K-mart is offering layway for the holidays and now there is a story in the WSJ.

This could be good for America. It could help to limit credit card use and increase cash only purchases. Over spending on credit for the last 10 years has put America’s economic health in jeopardy. Maybe Layaway is the first step to economic recovery?
