Best early Black Friday tech deals

Black Friday 2024 is fast approaching, and many online stores in South Africa have already started offering discounts on various products in the lead-up to the sales event.

The sales event takes place on the day after Thanksgiving in the US, which this year is 29 November.

A fridge and a house you can buy on credit.

Maybe your first car on credit, but the next one pay cash for.

I’m gonna trade mark the term Black Friday just so I can sue everyone who abuses it

Besides the obvious "Cash-Poor but Expectation/Hope-of-future-income-Rich, with insistent little voices demanding a TV NowNowNow" situation, could there be tax benefits to this sort of rent-to-own arrangement?

Tax benefits…I speak under correction but going to say no.

These offers are simply there to offer fancy gear/tech for people who don’t have the bucks.

I’m not telling people what to do with their bucks but from a financial POV it’s not a sound decision rather an “emotional” one.

I, too, am uncomfortable with the debt-bonds with which the Capitalist class seek to enslave us, Comrade.

However, if I were an aspiring Media Professional (i.e. PodTuber), perhaps I could finesse a tax-break for my 100inch Professional Quality-Monitoring Viewstation? I mean, what could be more Professional than Monitoring Quality? But if my fledgeling enterprise does not generate R25k in a single year, do I lose the benefit of the tax-deduction? If so, perhaps spreading the (presumably higher) cost over 36 months might be worthwhile?

Asking for....a friend.
