Wait, that’s Reavers, but the more I think about it the more I realize

“They want us alive when they eat us.”
These companies want you to have enough money to pay each month, but not enough money to get out of the debt. And if you miss a payment every few months then you are their biggest cash cow.
How to Stay Away from Their Evil Grasps
The temptation is always there to use credit as a way to buy new equipment, see a new exhibit at the museum, or have dinner delivered when the creative juices are flowing.
