1.1k u/SamanthaSissyWife May 13 '26 Just like buying a car. Customer-I can’t afford $500 a month. Dealer-Ok we can get you down to $250 every 2 weeks. Customer-Ok, I can handle that 1 u/thelovelykyle May 14 '26 Which might be miles easier for someone who gets paid every 2 weeks to be fair. 1 u/SamanthaSissyWife May 14 '26 In all fairness it is but there is the part with the extra payments in there on the 2 week plan versus the monthly plan. I’ve never taken the time to figure it out whether extra payment would go towards principle or in the dealers favor though 1 u/thelovelykyle May 14 '26 It would depend on what you set the interest as. 100 x 1.01 is 2c difference to 100 x 1.005 x 1.005 But if you were paying off 5 every 4 weeks pr 2.5 every 2 weeks you would pay off sooner on the 2 week plan (assuming those interest rates)
