Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

It started with "just four easy payments." Now your paycheck is spoken for before it even arrives.A new pair of shoes. A phone case. Groceries during a tight week. Each Buy Now, Pay Later purchase felt small and harmless, until the plans started stacking up across apps, the due dates started colliding, and the late fees started rolling in. Add the daily coffees, delivery fees, and quick in-app upgrades, and it's no wonder so many people feel like their money disappears without a trace.If that sounds familiar, you're not bad with money. You're caught in a system designed to make spending effortless and repaying invisible.The Pay-Later Detox is your step-by-step way out.This practical, judgment-free guide takes you from juggling payments and dreading your bank balance to managing your money with confidence and steadily paying off what you owe. No extreme frugality or shame, and no pretending you'll never enjoy anything again. Just a clear, proven plan that fits real life.Inside, you'll discover how to: - Face your numbers without fear.
