When you make a CitizenWatch article into a meme (congrats OP):
https://citizenwatchreport.com/sp-500-just-hit-an-all-time-high-meanwhile-60-of-americans-use-afterpay-for-groceries-first-time-homebuyers-have-fallen-to-24-from-50/
I mean this sincerely: Am I missing something in their sources? None of their three sources about BNPL support the "60%" number for groceries.
https://www.forbes.com/sites/markfaithfull/2025/04/28/american-consumers-turn-to-buy-now-pay-later-for-groceries-as-high-costs-bite
https://pueblostarjournal.org/news/2025/06/03/shopping-buy-now-pay-later-groceries
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/26/americans-groceries-buy-now-pay-later-loans.html
CNBC mentions 60% of general admission tickets for Coachella being BNPL sales.
It and the other two articles state 41%-43% of generally surveyed people simply stating they used BNPL last year, not for what.
I'm not seeing any source for "60% of Americans using BNPL for groceries", and anecdotally that doesn't match anything I'm hearing/seeing in my day to day life. Economy's shit, but this feels a little "narrative"-y for my tastes.
Great search, thank you!
