Let’s say you want to buy a pair of shoes that cost $150 and you ask your parents to help you pay for them. Your dad offers to give you the full $150, but you have to pay him $25 a month, plus an additional $5 a month in interest until you pay it off. Your mom offers to give you $75 towards the shoes, no time limit of when to pay her back and you don’t have to pay any interest. Which option do you think is the best?

depends, if you have the extra $75 they yeah your mom is definitely better but if you don’t your dads offer isn’t bad, you would only be paying him for 5 months, $30 dollars each month
