Everything In Conversation: Cute Debt

Everything In Conversation: Cute Debt

Pop your card into the EIC-ATM and get ready to withdraw some content- because this week we're talking all about the rise of "cute debt" and whether buy-now-pay-later schemes are really targeting the girls.


In a recent piece for The Atlantic, Annie Joy Williams explores how female shoppers are being heavily marketed to by the likes of Klarna and Afterpay, who are drawing on fun, girly aesthetics to sell their services and make debt seem fun, silly and generally NBD!


We share our own experiences and hear from you at home about why so many of us are falling victim to a splash of pink, a celeb endorsement and a cute Y2K moment.


Thank you for all of your messages this week! If you're really in the mood to spoil us, how about a five star rating wherever you're listening right now? Thank you so much! Lots of love,

R, O, B xo
