This is bad, you should never feel happy about paying interest, no matter how low it is. Even if it's 0%, you're still buying something that is out of your reach and placing yourself in debt. Debt is the reason why this country is going to shit, we don't know what responsibility means anymore. All we know is we want something and we don't care what it takes to get it as long as we can get it NOW.

That's certainly one set of buyers, however some, even while possessing the cash to buy it outright, prefer to leave themselves a safety net for any unexpected expenses.
Getting in over one's head is one thing, being intelligent and cautious is not.
