Can You Avoid A Payday Loan?

There comes a time in most people's lives when they temporarily run out of cash. There just isn't enough money in the bank (or on the credit cards) to attend their sister's wedding, or pay the rent, or buy the dog an operation.

It's called 'cash flow': you're spending money faster than you're earning it, but when you next get paid you can catch up with the debt. Your pay will cover what you spent two weeks ago.

A payday loan can be a tempting answer. It's quite easy to get a loan, and it's easy to add a little more on the loan to pay for something else that you'd also quite like. But there's where the 'payday loan trap' can start. You don't mean to get into debt: you borrow $500 one month and it gets paid back (plus interest) when your salary hits your bank. But that $550 leaves a big hole in your budget and you find yourself needing to borrow again to cover yourself till next month. This time you borrow $750. And that leaves an even bigger hole. And before you know it, you're up to your neck.

Before getting that first payday loan, just do everything you can to explore the alternatives of getting a loan until payday.
