My mom told me there’s only two things you should ever consider lending money for: a house and maybe a car, and even that should be avoided Comment from : Renucleous |

hm, there's interest now in Canada, it was short lived 😢 Comment from : Valdas V |

I moved across the country and had nothing to start over with I did my best to find second hand items or otherwise source furniture and supplies I could afford But it was in the pandemic and some things were hard to manage I used BNPL for a couch and for a washing machine but was very very cautious and careful about making sure I paid it off on time and on schedulebrbrThat said, they were incredibly useful when I needed them but definitely could be scary to get in the habit of using Comment from : LiquidSunnshine |

I have friends telling me about their BNPL schemes for a personal gym weightlifting set, a new smartwatch, while worrying about their rent all in the same conversation It's all I can do to just bite my tongue and not say anything as I see them spend their salaries on frivolous stuff they certainly don't *need* Comment from : kageKun |

If you're borrowing money, you can't afford it A lot of us are facing Homelessness right now If we all decide to quit buying in to our abusers, we wouldn't need credit Borrowing is just being an enemy to yourself and an aid to thise who tear down your community Comment from : X95 23 |

How is BNPL any different than classic installment plan? Like, you don't have to pay interest (in most of the service) or you are buying clothes and gadgets instead of big purchases like a house but Comment from : shiho hennmi |

I feel like you didn’t even mention the best part of BNPL Since there is no interest on the loans, the loans are essentially free money What other services gives you literally free money? brbrThe more you use BNPL to pay for things you would already buy, the more 0 interest loans you get Invest that in the stock markets and you are now making money off of free money Comment from : James Zhang |

Is it just me or do others also find their narrative so soothing as well?? Comment from : udino |

I was upsold to a nicer model and spent double on my home HVAC system thanks to the lure of cheap credit — $15,000 loan with 2 years to pay it off at no interest I read the contract and assumed the bank issuing the loan was preying on consumers who skimmed the fine print and didn’t pay enough in two years to cover the full amount — and maybe they are — but it sounds from this video like they made 12 in merchant’s fees, too, and technically I got a better system for the same money as if I’d paid up front, the HVAC company got a bigger sale, and the bank stayed in business, so on the one hand, we’re all winners On the other, I’d probably have been happy with a $16,000 system No need to spend double Comment from : Mark Davenport |

You can now use "buy now, pay later", at bars Tipsy people ordering more and more drinks, not realizing how many drinks you've had until you get the bill Sounds pretty stupid to me Comment from : Kent S |

I was deeply involved with credit card and BNPL products, prepared analytics and wrote board papers for top-level meetings Most of the video is good, but the business strategy part is not correct, can't comment too much on this without violating trade secrets I do want to add, due to BNPL's relatively high delinquency rates, having it signals you are bad with your finance and this will significantly reduce your credit application outcome even if you keep your credit score at a healthy level because you are deemed more risky The outcome can be a significant increase on your mortgage interest offers resulting in tens of thousands of extra interest Think about your financial future before you just have to get that Gucci giraffe sock with BNPL Comment from : Tokoroa3420 |

Remember don't buy stuff you don't have twice or triple the money for That'll help you in the long run I did that by buying my car and other stuff Really useful since after I bought my (used) car, I was able to afford the tax, insurance, and some repairs that I would've forgotten before buying a car Comment from : Karlen Bell |

I’m just unable to grasp how people view this as different from credit cards Credit cards also have no interest if you pay them on time If you aren’t getting into trouble with these loans, you wouldn’t get into trouble with a credit card, and if you would get into trouble with a credit card, you’ll also get into trouble with these loans Comment from : Michael Zautner |

very insightful video My investment-portfolio recently reached six figures, and this is my story I found it initially intimidating to consider investing during this period of higher inflation, but with the assistance of investment analyst Joseph Sullivan Anderson, who created a plan to transfer my underperforming fixed-income investments to a diverse portfolio that would produce higher returns, I was able to successfully navigate it Comment from : Florian Werfel |

This is such underrated entertainment You guys are incredible! Laughed throughout the whole skit Comment from : Lisa Wang |

I have only used BNPL once to get a new phone when my old one died on me, and only because I just needed a week or so before the overdraft would be approved with my bank (Unapproved overdrafts cost double) Normally I have savings for those things, but I had just put in a deposit for a new apartment and bought a ton of furniture, so it was just really bad timingbrEither way, I don't know how people feel less guilt using BNPL than with credit cards Having to sign a loan agreement buying consumer things left a bad taste in my mouth, but I'm generally positive about taking out a loan if you need one Maybe it's just because it was an obvious case of "too good to be true" and something had to be amiss Comment from : Steen Schütt |

BNPL are like Installment but worse, encouraging people without capacity to buy something they can't afford now and postpone the consequences later is just bad Comment from : MatchC06 |

Buy Now Pay Later is a very old system: promissory note/note payable but with modern tech brthe impact on not paying a promissory note is as hard as with the BNPL (a litte bit harder for the note)brIt's a good instrument for investing if the bought products don't lose value as fast as you pay back For cars, for houses anything you can sell anytime if you can't pay back on time brIt's like credit not for consumable It's good as you can buy more and the industry can produce more and it's a cycle It should be about 400-500 of the initial payment (buy->salary->buy->salary->buy ) Comment from : losttownstreet |

What with hair and the tattoos ? Comment from : Badar Alamri |
|
I have managed to purchase a couple of furniture items using 12 payment BNPLs I intentionally put them on autopay, as the payments are under my preset threshold for autopay without risking a bounced payment That said, it IS very important not to allow yourself to engage with too many of these as you can very easily lose track of them I relegate these for large items and keep a maximum of two (about $50/month total) active at any time Comment from : Jason Smith |

When inflation is high, buy now pay later, is almost a discount, when future money is worth lessbrbrOnly if it is the same price Comment from : Ant Man |

In the blue collar world, tool trucks do this same thing Seems the less money someone has, the higher their tool truck “account” is They’re allowed weekly payments that some people pay on for yearsbrbrWho’s on the hook for the loan? Could be a lot of people going out of business soon Comment from : Chasing the Outdoors |

Can I ask one simple question: Why pay for stuff with money you don't have?brI understand you don't have the money to buy a house and get a loan for that, sure But why is the alternative to a credit card a "buy now pay later" system and not just A debit card? brbrWhy not just use a debit card?brbrHow does a "young person" feel bad for using a credit card, but not feel like an absolute fool when they just spent "$100" on clothing, which is actually $400?? How hard is it to understand that spending money you don't (yet) have is a horrible idea in almost every circumstance? Comment from : Nenes Apostle [8th Apostle of the Twelve] |

Learning money management skills is crucial before getting into any financial products If you're smart, loans help you get richer If you're dumb, loans create debt spirals Never buy something you couldn't afford with cash outright (except houses) Comment from : PikaMaister |

BNPL always seemed too good to be true There had to be a catch I wasn't seeing, which is why I never BNPL Comment from : 777Skeptic |

Loans for consumption (things like clothes, tropical holidays, latest iPhone or 100" TV, even those 0, even those under fancy names like "buy now pay later") are a terrible idea, they are good for corporations, but keep people poor and in a great danger in case of unexpected life events (war, huge crisis like this in 1929, disease, unemployment) Comment from : Irek M |

If you can’t buy it twice, you can’t afford it! Comment from : Aiden Pru |

I agree it’s silly to put everyday purchases on these plans But One thing I like about something like “paypal pay in 4”is when I purchase a higher priced item Like clothing/shoes or a household item — am not 100 certain it will fit or work for my situation There’s a high probability that I will return it So I only am out 25 of the purchase price and if I return it I don’t have to wait to get the whole amount back Comment from : Becky Christiansen |

The weakest point of them is that they don’t benefit one’s credit For that reason it’s better to either get a credit card or wait But with this like every financial decision it just requires a clear head I’ve used these services for years and I do enjoy it Comment from : Angel M |

I thought you guys were joking about the "buying sandwich" with BNPL Comment from : Carlos Bunn |

I remember my first time coming across it back a year or two before the pandemic I used it to buy cologne Probably around $400 brbrEdit: that Cologne (Coco Blue) package was lost so I contacted the store and they delivered me a new order the following week No hiccups there brbrI make over $8000/monthly tho so using it from time to time isn’t an issue for me Hell my last big BNPL purchase was my LG C1 65” last spring I probably have about six more payments left unless it’s paid off I don’t keep up It’s about $165 a month Again I make $8k/monthly so it’s no big deal for Me Comment from : Waaaaaaaah! We Keep Getting Dominated! Waaaaaah! |

For me, other than the huge skepticism part of it, I'm not interested in BNPL merely because my economic demand for an interest free loan over such a small period of time is essentially 0brbrI keep money in my checking account for a reason, one to avoid overdrafts and two to avoid the hassle of constantly needing to withdraw money from my external savings account for regular bills and expenses It's the price I'm willing to pay for the portion of my money not in savings earning interest With BNPL, you're just delaying the inevitable Much easier to just get it over with any pay for things in full at the time of purchase Besides, a credit card is already a super short term interest free loan if you pay off your statement balance off each month Comment from : Thoryan |
