I'm sorry, but the signs are all over the place here.I said nothing about being poor.
I did say that payday loans are financially irresponsible.
I'd have to see one that allowed you to only pay back three bucks on a $100 loan. I have a hard time believing that to be accurate...or at least it is so conditional as to not be possible (that is, pay it back in an hour).
Most APR's on payday loans run into the hundreds of percent. Penalties and interest for late payments and failure to pay are extremely prohibitive.
