Fries Now, Regret Later? Klarna, DoorDash & the Debt Trap You Didn’t See Coming


Listen Later

Explore the financial implications of financing food. Steve and Damon unpack the true costs of using Klarna for deliveries.

In this episode of the Get Out of Debt Guy Podcast, Steve and Damon dive into the mind-boggling world of financing your fries. That’s right—DoorDash is now letting you pay for takeout in installments with Klarna. Sounds convenient… but is it a clever trick or a financial trap?

From missed payments tanking your credit score to racking up phantom debt for burgers and burritos, we unpack the real cost of this global trend. You’ll hear why Klarna loves your Big Mac more than you do, how impulse spending feels cheaper when it’s split into four payments, and why this isn’t all that different from charging beer emergencies in the '80s.

Plus, Damon shares a contrarian take no one else is talking about (yep, it involves tips, side hustles, and a woman who DoorDashed a $600 Target order), and we hit you with a dose of reality: just because you can finance fast food doesn't mean you should.

🍟 Fast food meets funny money—get ready to laugh, learn, and maybe rethink that late-night DoorDash.
If this hits close to home, boop that like button and don’t forget to subscribe. And if you’re drowning in Klarna payments or thinking about flipping the script and becoming a delivery driver, Damon’s got your back at DamonDay.com.

🚗💸 Final tip: Before you Klarna your cravings, consider delivering the fries instead of financing them.
