I really want to buy a plasma TV, the omly way I can do it right now would be to max out my credit cards or apply for new credit. What should I do? Football season is coming and Im just dreaming about watching football on a large HDTV TV.

This is how so many people are living pay check to pay check. Have you listened to the news today? With the housing situation so many people wanted to buy a home a home a few yrs ago. They wanted the biggest and best one no matter if they could really afford it.So they used creative financing like variable rates and so on. Now rates have risen and they can't afford to stay in their dream home and are going to loose money selling since they don't have enough equity in it.
Why do you feel that you deserve that TV? You may get it but down the line you will be sorry. Save up. Don't just think about what you want today think about tomorrow when the bill comes in. You have lived without it this long save up for it. You will feel better.

No. First of all, if you can't afford to buy this any other way, that means you can't afford to buy it.
Secondly, maxing out your card would severely damage your credit score.

Get a second job and/or cut out the extras and save the money for the TV. You may want it but you can't afford it. Buying expensive toys like this is how people bury themselves in debt.

If you are the TV would max out anything, you can't afford the TV. The LOWEST limit on any of my for cards is more than I can afford for anything.

Yes, but make sure you make more money betting on the football games when you are watching on the HD TV to be able to pay off your credit card debt.

If you really want to watch football on the HDTV, then go to the electronics store when the game is playing. You'll be able to watch multiple screens all at once without paying a cent!
