What began for many as a way to pay for concert tickets and vacations is becoming an ordinary tool that Gen Z and millennial shoppers use for food, contact lenses and trash bags.
I’ve used affirm a few times in the past for larger purchases. So I bought a $600~ table saw and you pick the length of the loan in months 3/6/12 whatever. I didn’t get whatever months interest free but the interest didn’t seem too crazy. It was like a couple of bucks every month and if you pay it off early you don’t have to pay the rest of the interest. It’s convenient for the purposes that I use it for. I’m really glad that I’ve not been in a position to need it for groceries.
