Walmart Layaway Program For Homebuyers?

I noticed that Walmart has a tv commercial on that shows the return of layaway for the holidays. Then I started thinking about way back when people made their holiday wish list after dog-earring the Sears catalogue. (I know some readers will think that was back in the Flintstone days)! Layaway meant that you had to pay for the item in full before you could take it home and that you had to figure out how you would make money to make the payments on it. The truth is that layaway was much better for the consumer; back in the days before immediate gratification took over and people now buy gifts with their credit cards and figure out how they will pay for them later. The dictionary definition of layaway should say, "budgeting tool". I hope that homebuyers will think about layaway this holid...
