If you need something or want something, this is an easy option to get it. Just pay it off before your interest free period runs out and you'll be cool.

I personally am not a big fan of buying something on credit. It encouraged people to go into debt. School loans are the only thing i feel like one should borrow.

Look at the interest rates and decide for yourself if you want to pay all that extra money

Personally I would never do it.

Save up the money and buy it all at once. If you cant afford it to begin with then its tough tits.

Interest rates can be stupidly high when "paying later".

Depends on how necessary it is in your life and also the interest rate.

NO NO & NO ! Better to just save up & buy it all at once , plus you won't have that burden of "Oh I have to pay for all of this later down the line" Plus interest rates

if youre like me and really bad at saving money sure its worth it(that is if its impotent) but if you can save money and its not a much needed thing just wait till you have the money for it

Treat it as if it were a credit card. It will affect your credit score if you constantly miss payments. Basic rule of thumb is, buy what you can easily turn around and pay off.
