    I am a bit concerned for “buy now pay later” – as much as affirm believes in their risk management skills – if an individual doesn’t pay or want to pay – then those defaults on bad “loans” increase and will begin to damage the company’s valuation. Especially in a potential recession which is enough for people to put priorities (house, food, clothing) over loan payments.

    Why do they ask CEO dudes about economic issues rather than asking an economist? CEO dudes have a dog in the fight.

    Long term investment is the best now. I invested $20,500  with Tatiana James and i top up my trade with $1000 every week. Now, I’m having over $147,345 on my dashboard. Toping up your trade is really important..
