I permanently closed my Afterpay account.

Since university I have always been in some kind of Afterpay debt. An endless cycle of paying it off and getting into more debt until my next paycycle. Constantly borrowing money from my future paycheck meant little left for savings. Just last week I said goodbye and closed my account - in NZ this action is permanent and I cannot open another account ever again. 💖
