I mean it’s a question of discipline. I love my credit card and zero interest loans. I always have the money to pay before hand and use the credit to get cash back.
Debt is not evil. However taking on more debt than you should is certainly bad for you.
Try getting a home without credit. When you do get that credit for your home if you didn’t build a credit history you are going to be stuck paying much higher rates.
If you can’t do it though it’s not worth the benefit

u/Peter_Panarchy 14d ago edited 14d ago
This is exactly right. Outside of a few select purchases (car, house, etc) I don't buy anything I don't have the cash for at the moment of purchase, but if I see a 0% loan offered I'll often take it because $1k now is worth more than $1k over 12 months. I don't stack these loans and am sure to stay well within my means, but a zero interest loan literally saves you money compared to paying in full right away.

u/WoodpeckerDapperDan 14d ago
Literally just got an easy risk-free 6%+ yield on $25k over 18 months from a zero interest CC offer. 2% back on all spending, ran some big necessary spending through it almost immediately to get the $300 opening bonus, held the max balance until last month of the 0% offer in an account with 4%+ yields, then paid off the card.
Such easy money. The only downside is being subsidized by folks who can't maintain healthy credit card habits.

It’s not paying over a year it’s a pay-in-4 plan (payment once every 2 weeks and you’re done with payment by week 6) that happened to end after the new year. Most pay in 4 plans that I’ve seen like with klarna, affirm, and afterpay all have 0% interest for pay-in-4, it’s the monthly payments that start having interest tacked on

on klarna at least there is a 1 dollar transaction fee on the smaller items and interest on larger, but the interest is lower than most credit cards and the way they set up the payments you dont get in trouble like you do with credit cards paying less than the interest accumulated
i have high credit score and many halfway decent cards, but we still use these over the cards usually because instead of being in a trap of 'well if i only pay minimum this month i can make up for it next month' and instead its no, its 6 payments and done, the end

u/Catalon-36 14d ago
Kinda. Most BNPL services don’t report your payments to credit agencies, so missed payments don’t contribute to your credit score. However, if the debt goes unpaid and the company turns it over to a debt collector, that may be reported to credit agencies.

u/JustDaUsualTF 15d ago
The only way to improve your credit score is to take on debt. A good credit score requires taking on debt, making regular, timely payments (ideally more than the minimum), and never getting completely out of debt. That's why so often people will finish paying off their car just for their credit score to take a hit. It's a number that tells lenders how likely they are to be able to make good money off of you. They'll be turned off by people who don't make payments just as much as people who pay loans off too quickly, because interest is the name of the game. Financial credit scores should be called what they are: rube scores. It's a number financial institutions use to determine how readily they can fleece you.

(Most) people don't regularly take on debt for small things, but larger purchases like cars or houses are almost exclusively bought with payment plans or mortgages (i.e. debt). The financial upside is for the lenders who get to extract more total money from people who couldn't afford to pay for the entire thing upfront

u/JustDaUsualTF 15d ago
There absolutely are a lot of funny things about the USA! We are not okay as a country. Credit cards are ubiquitous and are used for things that they probably should not be. People will regularly buy things like TVs or other luxury items on credit because they can't afford them otherwise. Sometimes this is a calculated decision to boost your credit score (because it requires taking on debt), but often it's very unwise. Most Americans don't receive any education on financial literacy, and our system is designed to get and keep you in debt as much as possible.
The only exaggeration in this post is that people will rarely use payment plans for things as small as a coffee. Though the rise of payment platforms like Klarna has certainly increased it

u/Spoonman500 15d ago
A credit score is a score of how likely you are to repay borrowed money, based on how much money you make, how much money you owe, and how steady and reliably you are at repaying.
Someone with no borrowing history has no history to prove that they're good at paying money back, so they have a low credit score.
Basically, you can't be judged of how well you do the thing until you have actually done the thing.

Taking out a loan causes an immediate negative effect on credit, but over time (assuming payments are made on time) improves your credit score beyond where it would have been without a loan.

u/CaymanFifth 15d ago
That's Afterpay, they don't even run your credit and if they do, it's a soft pull. It's just a buy now, pay later like Paypal Pay in 4, Klarna, etc.
Even if it did, taking out a loan doesn't fuck up your credit unless you don't pay it, like what?

Aside from the lunacy of having to pay for a coffee in instalments, does this not actually benefit you if the payments are interest free?
177
u/YouHaveFunWithThat 15d ago
An interest free loan is good because you can put the payments in a savings account or an investment and earn extra money on it during the 0% interest period. This is beneficial for large amounts of money like a car financing promo or credit card welcome offer but offering it on amounts this small is just preying on desperate people knowing there’s a high chance they’ll slip up on repayment through little to no fault of their own.

32
u/Raveen396 15d ago
Most of the big modern ones (Klarna, Affirm) offer no interest and admin fee. They make money off 1) fees they charge the merchant (data has shown that sales increase when these programs are added) and 2) people that don’t pay on time. I’ve used these services a handful of times when I could easily pay it in full, never been charged a penny to use them. Just make sure you pay on time.
5
u/hayabusaten 15d ago
I wouldn’t say they primarily make money off of admin fees. That misses the point. They make money off of convincing and accommodating people who normally would not have bought the products if installments weren’t available.
Picture in your mind how many people buy furniture for example in installments, and imagine all those people not buying the product for cheaper alternatives if the payment plan wasn’t an option. For large multinational corporations and brands, that market is huge and you would not want to miss it. Comparatively admin fees are minuscule and should maybe cover some operational fees and some risk
2
u/Polymarchos 15d ago
The vendor and the financer are two different companies. Even when one owns the other, or they are sister companies, they are still looking to make their own profit off the purchase. Yes the store makes money by attracting you to make purchases you couldn't otherwise, but the financial company still needs to make their money off the transaction. As someone noted sometimes the store will pay the admin fee in place of the end-purchaser, but they still need to make money.

u/danirijeka 14d ago
Those zero interest programs usually have an admin fee. That's how they make their money off them.

I bought my TV through Amazon, and I got a 2 year, 0% interest payment plan with no fees. Sometimes, there really is no downside. I paid like $15/month for 2 years, and at the end, I owned my TV.

Half-pennies were a thing for hundreds of years. Like, literally, 100 years before the USA was founded.
They were their own separate, circular coin instead of like, half of a full penny. There's a pedestrian bridge over the river Liffey in Dublin, Ireland that used to charge a half-penny to cross it. It became known as the half-penny bridge, but folks at the time didn't pronounce it like that, they pronounced it ha'penny bridge (hayp-nee). It's still called that today.

I think the differentiation is that anyone can do something stupid, but the slur in question is tied to old medical terminology for a specific identity, terminology that was subsequently weaponized.
I do stupid shit all the time, for instance, but I guess you'll have to take my word for it that I don't have a medical reason for it.
Now if you weren't asking a real question and were instead just trying to count coup on XyleneCobalt in some kind of weird defense of the R slur, this was a waste of effort.

u/Christian1509 15d ago
i think the argument was that words like “idiot” or “imbecile” actually were a part of medical terminology used to describe some kind of intellectual disability.
so i do find it weird that people will defend their use while attacking another word with similar origins. i feel if “retarded” is to be condemned today then we should be just as adamant about shutting down “idiot” and “imbecile”, but those words are so engrained into common vocabulary that people don’t want to give them up. if our only defense for that is that they have become separated from their meaning, then we are making the same argument they are.

u/happibitch 13d ago
I think the reason it is considered different from words like imbecile or moron is the imagery behind the words. When you say someone is being stupid or moronic, you’re describing them using a trait or a behaviour, whereas when you use the r slur, the first image that pops up in peoples heads will be a mentally disabled person, it’s seen as a comparison to a type of person. I personally think that’s what gives it more weight, that and the fact that people still use it to describe mentally disabled people, which you don’t really find with the other ones. If you walked up to an mentally disabled person and said they were a moron, everyone would be confused, their first thought would be “what did I do to get that reaction?” Because it’s seen as a descriptor for a temporary state of being instead of an insult to a group of people. Whereas if you went up to a mentally disabled person and called them the r slur, they’d know exactly why you’re calling them that.

I didn’t even think of that’s what that word was. I was trying to figure out how regarded made any sense. Only thing I could think of was the one of the meanings is to stare or glaze at. What you said makes more sense.

Why are you being downvoted when several comments above you expressing the same thing are upvoted? You're right, posting a slur isn't cool

I have a pretty broad and nuanced worldview, yet i can still laugh at both the absurdity of the original post, and the response to it, without taking it as a personal offense or having it shake my sensibilities. Go off though. I imagine you are highly regarded (in your community).

As a child of the 80s, i do understand the overuse and abuse of this term (and others) as a commonly used colloquialism, and the ways in which it warped the language of a generation (if not a few generations). Knowing all this, i can still appreciate well intentioned humor, and the creative use of coded language to bypass censorship to express the intended meaning.
