Saturday, July 5th, 2008

In the previous postings, I have presented alot of information. Theres also alot of things to think about and keep in mind.

Borrowing money is pretty convenient in these times. Amongst the banks, credit card companies, lenders, merchants and private investors, there is alot of competition for your business. These lenders are offering descent interest rate and incentives as an example. But when you find a great deal, be sure to check it out completely! Check to see if there are hidden charges, fees or balloon payments.

Do Know how much money you would like to borrow

Do know the amount of time it will take you to repay the loan

Do make sure you can afford to make that monthly payment. (on revolving credit debt, your monthly payment may be lower than an installment debt…ie like a car.)

Do take the time to learn everything you can about using credit. This blog is a great way to start.

Do Tell your friends about this blog if they are looking to borrow money!

Don’t sign on the dotted line until you completely understand what your loan involves

Don’t take the absolute most amount of money that you can borrow. Just take what you need.

Don’t borrow money from a Payday Loan. The interest rate is extremely high. This ebook will not list payday resources. Luckily for you theres better places to go. The price of this ebook is pocket change compared to the interest you’d pay those guys.

The above are suggestions to consider. Check with your CPA if you have any questions about your new loan.
