'Buy now, pay later' is expanding fast, and that should worry everyone
- ggm 1y agoDebt is a problem but also is useful. I think this is a problem in analytics as much as a societal problem that we've moved life into perpetual debt funding. To me, the problem here isn't really the debt, the problem is the debt isn't part of the normal financial reporting cycle. So it's contribution to the economy is being estimated, not measured. I think drawing a bow from consumer sentiment around debt funding lifestyle to the fintech and tech bro JV/IPO sector and debt is a strech. But maybe he has a point?
