Hi Cara, That's just it though. I happen to live in an extremely rural area and thus there is no Apple stores near me within a hundred miles or so of me. If I really want an iPhone I'd pretty much have to buy direct from the carrier which do have payment plans. Just none of them currently affordable for me given my limited funds right now.
