Is BNPL still worth it?

I’ve been noticing more online shops offering BNPL and i'm wondering if splitting a S$300 purchase into 3 or 4 payments actually make budgeting easier, or just make it feel cheaper than it really is?

​

How do we draw the line between managing cash flow and simply spending more than you can afford?

For me, the line is whether the instalments can fit comfortably into your existing budget without relying on next month’s salary. BNPL makes the payment smaller, not the purchase cheaper

Splitting S$300 into smaller payments definitely feels less painful, but I’d still ask myself, “Would I buy this if BNPL wasn’t an option?”

A S$300 purchase feels very different when you see “S$100/month”, but you’re still committing S$300....
