Payday Loan: Buyer Beware
Times are tough and there’s not enough money left after paying rent to buy groceries. The easiest thing to do is get a payday loan. You can have cash sent directly to your checking account overnight. However, there is one thing you must understand. A payday loan is not as simple a process as it seems. You must be able to repay the loan in the agreed time-frame, which is next payday, or face severe consequences.
The debt treadmill, a common term used to describe those who are locked into payday loan repayment, is a high probability. The interest on the payday loan is extremely high, in most cases over three hundred percent. If all you can afford is to pay of the interest at the end of the month, the loan rolls over and starts you off again. Now you are paying the interest off every month, but forgetting that you will not be able to cover the whole principal of the loan. All things considered, the debt treadmill is a perfect name for this scenario; making you tired and broke. Payday loans are manageable but proceed with caution.
