Principle of Least Interest

In a two-party relationship, the party exhibiting the least interest in the relationship holds the most power. This is due to the (albeit often false) presumption that relationships are an efficient economy, and that one party would only be more interested if the other is inherently more valuable.

0% interest for x months

A sales tactic targeted mostly at people without money, good credit or low interest credit cards. Means the financial entity will keep accruing interest at a generally usurious interest rate until the conclusion of the specified number of months. If the purchase isn't paid in full by then, the buyer gets hit with an enormous "balloon" of accrued interest. Unless you can pay the purchase off quickly, you're a huge sucker.
