    This is a bad financial move for several reasons:

    He doesn't have the money to pay back the loan now, and will not magically get more money later (even if he gets paid soon he already has more rent and other expenses to pay) If it is a high-interest loan and he makes the minimum payment each month, the interest will continue to grow and it will get harder and harder to pay off A TV that you owe money on is a liability not an asset. Borrowing money to get a car that you use to drive to work and earn money is one thing, but borrowing money to but a TV that will never earn you money is not a wise decision.
