It was 2019 when she discovered the deals that were about to ruin her. She bought furniture on the Internet for which there was a discount, then there were the new offers from Sodastream and even groceries ended up in her virtual shopping basket.

But buying in installments and on account made everything possible – and it was easy too. It is then quite easy to simply ignore uncomfortable questions that you should actually ask yourself.
