      if you or I want X we save until we have enough and then buy X many people are in situations (their own inability to defer gratification, thieving relatives, unbanked, families who are ALWAYS "in need") where they CAN'T SAVE so layaway lets them save "off the books"

      and I don't wanna go all SJW "check your privilege", but I think it's really really REALLY hard for people like me or you, Eigen, to internalize what living in that world is like and so swooping in with "if I were poor I would SIMPLY max out my 401(k)" advice is, uh ...
