Renting consoles has been around for a while - I remember renting a Nintendo 64 at blockbuster when I was a kid. There is a company in the US called "Rent A Center" and you can rent couches, tvs, etc.

What I find even crazier is the rise in Pay in 4 platforms like Klarna, Afterpay, etc. Now you can use Klarna at grocery stores, uber eats, etc.

People are taking out small loans to have a sandwich delivered to their house/job, crazy.
