I am no financial expert but when I see how many online stores now embraced all these financing options that allow you getting into debt so easily it feels a bit irresponsible that it’s allowed. What’s worse is that nobody educates you properly before you click the “accept and buy” button.
It was always the case that you could but there would be proper checks in place, now it’s made into such an attractive and open-to-everyone product that I don’t think a lot of people know the implications for.
Poor people who suddenly are unable to pay, slapped with massive interest will have no choice but to default.
Compounded with inflation this is really worrisome.
What are your thoughts? Am I being too sceptical here?
