A practical example:

the average laptop computer in Brazil costs around USD 580

that is almost 3x the minimum wage salary (~USD 200/month)

40% of the working population earns less than the minimum wage

Yet over 77% of Brazilian households own a laptop computer

How is that possible? You guessed it, installments.
