Question

I have a users table and a payments table, for each user, those of which have payments, may have multiple associated payments in the payments

Answer 1

You can try this:

SELECT u.*, p.*
FROM users AS u LEFT JOIN (
    SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY userid ORDER BY [Date] DESC) AS RowNo
    FROM payments  
) AS p ON u.userid = p.userid AND p.RowNo=1
