      Loans for small things are high risk and aren’t worth it for a bank in a normal economy. People can’t afford the basics and have to lay-away like in the great depression. Klarna is the canary in the mine.

        Ah okay. I just use Klarna as a credit card type thing, and pay my invoice every month. 🤷‍♂️ Sorry, I wasn’t aware it was used as a means to survive.

          Klarna is for people who want to buy something but don’t have enough money right now. It’s helpful to them because it’s interest-free so they can pay off little items over the course of several months without acquiring interest.

          But if you have enough money to buy something & pay in full, just do that. No need to drag it out for months if you’ve got plenty of money in the bank.
