Buy Now, Pay Later: This couple is so very screwed

 


"Hey honey, it's your turn to vacuum."

"No problem- I bought a $499 Roomba.  No worries, I used CommBank StepPay, so it only costs $125 every two weeks for two months."

"Um, ok.  Oh by the way, remember I recreated my grandmother's meatloaf recipe from scratch last night.  So it's your turn to cook."

"No problem- I ordered Uber Eats, it will be here in a minute.  Just $20 every two weeks for two months.  Easy peazy."

"Um....ok.  Just one more thing.  Where did this new couch come from? I thought we said we were going to hold off on new furniture?"

"That's before I discovered the wonderful world of Buy Now, Pay Later.  This couch is only $200 every six weeks for six months.  We can afford $200!"

"Thanks for reminding me why we have separate bank and credit card accounts, honey."
