I remember visiting my family in Brasil some 20 years ago. Lots of stores had their own financing-long-term offers. People would then continue buying without bothering with details, each buy would add to a total sum.

There's no way to check if the total amount was correct, without including the % they had to pay for the credit, which changed every month.

A tedious task most people didn't bother with.
