@eyebvee: “Affording” means the purchase fits comfortably into your life without creating financial stress now or later. You should still be able to save, pay your other bills, enjoy your life, and make progress toward your financial goals. Just because you can make the monthly payment doesn’t mean the purchase is affordable. If buying it means your budget becomes tighter, your savings slow down, or you have to constantly worry about the next payment, you can buy it, but you can’t afford it. #PersonalFinance #moneylessons #financialliteracy
