    Ah okay. I just use Klarna as a credit card type thing, and pay my invoice every month. 🤷‍♂️ Sorry, I wasn’t aware it was used as a means to survive.

      Klarna is for people who want to buy something but don’t have enough money right now. It’s helpful to them because it’s interest-free so they can pay off little items over the course of several months without acquiring interest.

      But if you have enough money to buy something & pay in full, just do that. No need to drag it out for months if you’ve got plenty of money in the bank.

        Well, Klarna is a free service, and I can use it however I like.

        I use it to gather (all of) my financial transactions on a neat invoice so I can categorize them and keep a close tab on my family’s budget. The invoice is paid by the next month, so it isn’t “dragged out for months”. I even have the physical Klarna card which you can also get free of charge.

        This is very deliberate by me, so I don’t need anybody to tell me what I should do instead. 👍
