I've never dealt with Klarna, but something I have wondered about Affirm is how many people fucked themselves by linking their bank account to their card and treating it like a normal debt card.

For those who don't know if you intend on doing a payment plan, you have to give them a heads-up in the app first. Not only so you know how much you need to pay by weekly and the APR, but because otherwise they'll just take it all from your bank account a few days later. It's best to treat it like Amex and just us it for things you can pay off in a month.

You know shit is bad out here when they got you getting your Wimpy on and getting a hamburger on credit. Sad thing is somebody is going end up in jail like child support behind this shit. Scofflaw like a motherfucker.

:smh: Ridiculous. Folks need to learn how to cook and stop wasting money on take out. It's harder to control your salt and sugar intake when other people are cooking your food.

Agreed.

When the local supermarkets start letting folks buy food on layaway it will make sense.

That would be worse, actually, if we get to the point where people need payment plans for regular food. Better for health but groceries are a lot cheaper than restaurant delivery so that would mean people are doing really bad.

I bet DoorDash loves food deserts though…
