I use a 48-hour rule now. If I still want it two days later and can pay in full, fine. If I need installments for a non-essential item, I skip it.

Write every payment on one page with due dates. BNPL feels harmless until you see five or six little payments hitting the same paycheque.

Deleting the apps helped. The convenience was the problem. If I had to pay the full price today, I made better decisions.
