Stress banget! Akhirnya prioritas bayar hutang, gak bisa nabung, gak bisa jalan-jalan. NOT WORTH IT! **GOLDEN RULES GUE SEKARANG:** ✅ **Rule 30%** - Total cicilan max 30% dari take home pay ✅ **Emergency only** - Buat urgent needs, bukan wants ✅ **0% or nothing** - Kalau gak 0%, better tabung dulu ✅ **Pay on time** - Set reminder, autopay kalau bisa ✅ **One app only** - Jangan pake 2-3 BNPL sekaligus! ✅ **Track spending** - Pake app (Excel/Money Manager) **KAPAN BNPL WORTH IT:** ✅ Emergency (laptop rusak, HP rusak for work) ✅ Big discount + 0% installment ✅ Cash flow management (udah pasti gajian cukup) ✅ Building credit score (bayar tepat waktu!) **KAPAN JANGAN PAKE BNPL:** ❌ Impulsive shopping ❌ Lifestyle items yang gak urgent ❌ Kalau udah ada cicilan lain ❌ Gak pasti next month income ❌ "Karena temen-temen pake" **ALTERNATIVE:** - **Tabungan darurat** - Aim for 3-6 months expenses - **Credit card** - If you're disciplined (cashback/miles!) - **Personal loan** - Lower interest for big amount - **Tunda pembelian** - Sometimes you don't really need it **MY HONEST ADVICE:** BNPL itu TOOL, bukan lifestyle. Use it wisely! Gue sekarang cuma pake untuk emergency aja, dan pastiin bisa bayar sebelum due date. Financial freedom > temporary satisfaction! Ada yang punya experience dengan BNPL? Share dong!
