Australian woman regrets $19,000 Afterpay spending

An Australian woman is urging others to delete the "buy now, pay later" app Afterpay after revealing she spent $19,000 in two years. She expressed shock at the amount. Shyneka Long shared her spending on TikTok, prompting other users to confess their own high Afterpay expenditures. The app allows purchases to be paid in installments. New regulations for "buy now, pay later" providers, like Afterpay, have come into effect, treating them similarly to credit cards and requiring financial checks to prevent consumer harm.
