@@charlix3not really. It CAN be a completely alright thing IF used responsibly. I think if you were anyway going to buy something and have an option on to 0% finance it. There is upside. It is when you start buying stuff you don’t need with money you don’t have, you get problems.
@@TheSmeteni asssume they do, but the idea is more that the moment you miss one payment, usually because you don't have the money to spare, you are locked into a debt spiral because of insane interest rates

I'm 33, I declared bankruptcy at 23 due to credit debt and afterpay/zippay debts when I was 18/19. Since getting out of my bankruptcy 5 years ago, I have and will NEVER use credit cards or afterpay ever again. Afterpay and credit cards pray on freshly legal adults, the uneducated and the poor. DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR LIES!!!
Bro, you can use credit cards. It's ok. Just don't go crazy with it. But I was 18 too and I knew payday loans were a fucked idea. What made you start that in the first place?
@@fedbia2003 honest truth is I grew up poor af, and all of a sudden had banks throwing "free money" at me. I knew no better at the time. The only debt I have above my head now is a mortgage and I'll just my butt off everyday to make sure that's the only debt I have :)
@@doodwasalreadytaken same way my parents got into debt. People talk about it like it's money you didn't already have and not a loan you have to pay by the end of the month. They put extra cash back on leisure items to encourage getting fast food and streaming services when you don't have the money for them. It is possible to use a credit card responsibly but debting can be an addiction foe some
klarna is what people use to buy designer they DONT need. If you say anything to them they say some shit like, "people make car payments its basically the same" one is a car the other is a $300 scarf you bought cuz everyone else was wearing it, it is NOT the same
The scarf will probably last longer than these crap modern cars. I thought having tech in cars would make them better... Look up Jaguar iPace issues... damn.
It's actually pretty similar. A lot of people buy cars they can't really afford and end up blowing all their disposable income on car payments and interest.
The only time I've used it is when I was under 18 and hadn't had a credit card yet, and the business I was buying from only accepted a buy now pay letter service, or credit cards. Did the buy now pay later option, and just payed now LOL.
Regarding laws against subscriptions, in Germany, and I think this is an EU regulation, many contracts are no longer allowed to renew for more than a month after an initial minimum runtime afaik
See, the last time we did this thing where we inflate the economy by buying a ton of stuff with debt, we got this little thing called the Great Depression
I was going to sign up for Rocket Money w/ your link but I don't see a link in the description. Was planning on bookmarking it and doing it later... bit busy atm. Unfortunately I'll probably forget. Edit: It was added afterwards and people letting me know got me to bookmark it. Will do it later tonight. Thanks.
I use after pay but I only use it if I had the money to buy it outright. Say there was a purchase I wanted to make that costed 600. I'll have the 600 aside, but if theres a option to use afterpay I will because it just helps mentally by making it feel like I'm paying less. And then I'll pay the debts weekly ahead of their actual dates instead of bi weekly. I agree they are predatory though. Especially with people who use it for small purchases. And also I don't care about credit score cause I'm not buying a house in my lifetime.
Because it feels like less, it already pushes you to buy more than you otherwise would. If you do it responsibly, that's still okay. But I think that it's better to just eat the entire cost up-front. If I'm not willing to part with my money for the purchase now, I just don't buy it. Softening the blow only makes people spend more.
it gives you the freedom to leave the money in a daysavings account and getting some interest from holding more cash on hand. It's like 1-3% a year but it's still something. Alternatively, it could be put into like an ETF that tracks like the 500 top companies or whatever with like a spread risk or so
@@ayoCC If you're putting money you have actually spent in an investment, even a relatively safe one like S&P500, you're not being responsible. Those "pay later" loans have terms of weeks. There is nothing rational or predictable about the markets over such a period of time. A month or two later you may need the money, and not all of it could be there. And if you're buying and selling at that frequency, the fees will likely kill any returns as well. Only invest money you can actually afford to keep in the market for as long as it takes to make returns from it.
I used it once when I was like really down on my luck just to buy food until the next paycheck but that was when I made the decision to never let it get to that again and actually save.
My personal take is it’s fantastic for bigger purchases when you are in a tough spot but it shouldn’t be used for everything. Do remember that people like Atrioc are able to afford to buy things straight up. For others, we are often priced out of certain things. If you don’t go beyond your means it’s practically just saving in reverse, buy first, put away money later. Goal is not to use but it does serve a valid purpose.
working in retail i get the occasional "do you take afterpay" and ofc i cant say anything but in my head im definitely thinking please turn around and go home if you cant afford to pay for this normally
Never missed an after pay and i do agree it does make me spend more. 0% interest for something i know i can afford is just to good to pass up. And unlike credit cards where i am pretty bad paying the minimum will pay of the after pay where doing that with a credit card will not
I don't think the problem is the frequency of pay, in other countries you get paid monthly and still almost nobody uses them, it seems more a problem of not getting livable wages
zoomers: "I think I just figured out a flaw in the system... Maybe I can get rich super fast with no work." 8 Billion people born first who've all thought the same thing at some point: "Good luck!"
I refuse to use afterpay because I just always live like I’m going to be fired within the next day lmaooo. I have as little bills (besides rent) as possible.
Thanks Big A for teaching me about Klarna so I could get RUclips Premium to be able to watch this video, ever since they took away free RUclips and made it so we have to pay to watch I haven't been able to afford it, don't know what I would do without you
Klarna is pretty great tbh, you just have to make sure to pay on time. In certain situations the ability to delay payment can be massive, especially if you don't have a massive income and know you will have the means to pay within 30 days. The fact that some people can't handle it is just a skill issue. Just don't be stupid.
I learned recently that dancing is a more effective cure to depression than anti-depressants and instead of being sad I'm just gonna shimmy the thoughts away :')
Hey, if you can keep yourself restrained, pay it off before any interest is charged, and you've got the money you would've otherwise used sitting in an interest bearing account, its better than free money, its paying you.
I have and never will use after pay. I was forced to take a paycheck advance once and it turned into a cycle of having to keep doing it. That taught me all of it is a scam seeking the desperate.
After this video i got an ad for a "free training" that said to let AI write a book and sell it on amazon. what a world this is.. but it made me laugh at least :)
I had a business idea this morning: reverse-Klarna. You pick what you want, and you can pay £5 (or whatever you can afford) at a time till you've paid for it all. But they don't ship the item till you've paid for the whole thing. It's like saving but someone else holds the money so you can't spend it.

What happens if you use klarna and then change your card, free money basically
SQ is in the spx so rly you should use more afterpay so your shares go up more
Hearing Klarna described as buy now pay later feels weird.
Either way, then credit cards should be boycotted the same way, no?
