For some American consumers, “buy now, pay later” loans aren’t just for big-ticket items like televisions and vacations. They’re for groceries, too.
Buy Now Pay Later is a short-term loan that allows consumers to pay for their items in small installments over time. However, due to the popularity of Buy Now Pay Later, there has been an increase in what many have started to label “phantom debt”.

Visit neroyal.com to learn more and show us a little love by mentioning this podcast when you reach out! Now back to today's tip. The term phantom debt can mean multiple things. Traditionally, phantom debt is a debt that is too old to collect legally, so it's either written off or sold to a collection agency. Phantom debt may also refer to when scammers try to collect money that is not owed to them by threatening legal action. However more recently, phantom debt has come to mean a debt that can't be measured since it's not reported. According to many reports, Buy Now Pay Later is a large producer of these unmeasured phantom debts. Because of its convenience, consumers are finding it easier to use Buy Now Pay Later services to pay for larger items in smaller installments than paying for it all upfront. However, that means people are using Buy Now Pay Later to buy more big-ticket items than they can actually afford. This results in loan stacking, which is borrowing multiple loans at the same time. With more and more of these Buy Now Pay Later loans, it can be difficult for consumers to keep track of them. If you don't pay these loans on time, you will get hit with late fees and your credit score will lower. If you're struggling with Buy Now Pay Later debt, aka “Phantom Debt”, there are a couple things that you can do. The first thing you can do is request a payment extension. Some Buy Now Pay Later lenders will let you either change or extend the payment due date which can provide some much-needed extra time pay off the debt. You could also apply for a debt consolidation personal loan, which would combine some or all of your debts into one single loan. This not only makes it easier to keep track of existing debt but it can even help improve your credit score as you make those regular, consistent payments to pay it all off on time.

Brittany keeps looking at a new couch online, and every time she goes to buy it she sees an option to "Buy Now, Pay Later," which made her wonder...should she? Here's what she found:Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) loans have become one of the go-to ways to get access to credit fast. Companies like Klarna, Affirm, and Afterpay make buying big purchases relatively easy by allowing people to pay in installments over time. But some Americans have taken to using this method for everyday items like groceries, and when BNPL service providers like Klarna partners with DoorDash so customers can "eat now, pay later"... it feels like a debt trap waiting to happen. And that's just scratching the surface.This... is Money Troubles.And for the past few weeks we've been looking into the ways everyday people are trying to make ends meet... and what it says about how our culture views labor, basic needs, or even our favorite pastimes.In this final episode, NPR Life Kit's Andee Tagle and author Malcolm Harris join Brittany to get into why Buy Now, Pay Later has become so popular and how 'cheap credit' may be another lifestyle subsidy for a new generation.You can hear more of Andee's and Life Kit's reporting on Buy Now, Pay Later here.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
RSV, a common respiratory virus, can be especially harmful for infants. But this past winter brought promising news: two new preventive measures became widely available — a vaccine given in pregnancy and antibodies given to newborns. Together, they led to a major drop in RSV hospitalizations among infants. Which is good for both families and taxpayers. And in the next installment of our "Buy Now Pay Later" series, we look at tackling credit card debt before retirement.

“Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” — Luke 12:15In an age of instant gratification, getting what we want has never been easier, even if we can't afford it. But as “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) services become increasingly popular, they're quietly reshaping our relationship with money, debt, and even contentment. Let's explore how these programs work, why they're spiritually and financially dangerous, and how Scripture invites us into a better way.What Is Buy Now, Pay Later?Originally used for large purchases like furniture or electronics, BNPL services now allow consumers to split nearly any purchase into multiple payments—even cheeseburgers. DoorDash, for example, lets customers finance their food in four installments. The convenience may seem harmless, but it can mask deeper issues.Companies like Klarna, Afterpay, Affirm, Zip, Sezzle, and PayPal offer these options at checkout. According to Experian, more than 80% of U.S. shoppers have used BNPL. The ease is attractive, but the long-term impact can be devastating.BNPL makes it seem like you're not going into debt, but that's exactly what's happening. Small recurring payments across multiple platforms add up fast, leading to overdraft fees, financial stress, and, in many cases, high interest rates—some as high as 36% for missed or extended payments.A $60 DoorDash meal split into four $15 payments doesn't seem bad—until you do it for every meal. Or take a $3,000 couch bought with a BNPL plan: one missed payment, and that couch could ultimately cost $8,000 due to fees and interest.Scripture's Warnings About DebtThe Bible doesn't shy away from warning us about the dangers of debt. Proverbs 22:7 tells us, “The borrower is the slave of the lender.” Debt isn't just a financial issue—it can become an emotional and spiritual burden, dividing our attention and devotion.In Luke 12:15, Jesus reminds us that “life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.” Yet BNPL feeds the lie that more stuff equals more satisfaction. Instead of trusting God to provide, we try to manufacture comfort and control through impulsive spending.Why are we tempted to buy now and pay later? Often, it's not out of need, but out of insecurity, impatience, or discontentment. Paul models a better path in Philippians 4:11–13: “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content...I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”True contentment doesn't come from a checkout screen—it comes from trusting the Lord to provide, even when the budget feels tight.A Better Way: Practical and Spiritual WisdomSo, how do we resist the pull of BNPL and grow in godly contentment?Practically:Build margin. Save up for purchases ahead of time.Budget for “wants.” Use a separate category or envelope system.Set spending limits. Use cash or debit card to help avoid overspending.Spiritually:Examine your heart. Ask: Am I trusting God, or just trying to feel better?Pursue contentment. Let God define your enough.Practice gratitude. Train your heart to see God's provision in what you already have.Freedom to Live GenerouslySaying no to unnecessary debt frees us to say yes to generosity. When we live with open hands and open hearts, we reflect the freedom we have in Christ—freedom from striving, fear, and scarcity. And that's far better than four easy payments.So next time you see a “Pay in 4” button, pause. Ask yourself: Do I really need this? Can I pay for it in full? And does this reflect trust in God, or just in a payment plan?Wise stewardship begins with contentment, and contentment begins with Christ.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:My husband and I are sending our son on a five-week mission trip to Scotland. We're debt-free and want our kids to stay that way. I'm hesitant to open a credit card, but what's the best, safest way to give him access to money while he's overseas?We recently sold our home at a profit, bought a new one, and are now debt-free. However, the new home needs repairs, and we still have a mortgage. Should we tithe on the profit from the home sale, or use those funds for the house needs?I'm a recently retired teacher with two annuities—one worth $19,000 and the other about $13,000. I've just opened an IRA and wonder if I should roll the annuities into it, or if there might be a better strategy.I've inherited a large amount of cash-valued property and need guidance on how to manage it wisely, especially to minimize potential tax liability.We paid off our home in October 2024.
