I attempted a bit of a “digital vacation” this long weekend in order to maximize my feelings of thankfulness, but I couldn’t help taking a peek at what was available in the “I was going to spend this money anyway” department. I’ll try to keep this updated with all the low-hanging fruit.

Quick bonus thought: The real trick behind “Buy Now Pay Later” services is that the average total purchase is much bigger because you only have to pay for 25% of it upfront. You may commit to spending $200, but only “spend” $50 on those shoes that day. Normally, even if you pay with a credit card, you still have to charge the entire balance upfront. BNPL makes you spend more than otherwise because of a mind trick. Don’t fall for it! It’s still debt. My rule remains: If you can’t pay for it upfront, you can’t afford it.
