      TIL Klarna is Swedish. But they’ve been popular in the US since before/around COVID.

      Anyway, Klarna is a shitty by-now-pay-later (BNPL) payment service that allows you to “finance” everyday pruchases on websites. Don’t you love it when you go into debt over paying for your Temu clothes, your video game DLC, and your Amazon Fresh purchases?

        Shouldn’t be on the comic. Not a legit issue if you don’t use it. Rest are life penalties unfortunately, hard to avoid.

    cost of living is so real, I won’t say I make a lot of money but I make enough to live. That said, I can’t even start paying off student loans, because food alone – that lasts around 2 weeks – take half of my bi-weekly income. were in deep shit.
