I always think of Ben Stein's comment in that Frontline episode on the Secret History of the Credit Card - people that pay off their credit cards every month and pay no interest are called "deadbeats". Around the 11m 30s mark...as it goes for credit cards, it goes for so very many other things. If you can afford an upfront hit or what have you, you pay less than people that are in a worse financial situation.
