Do you take loans?

May 30, 2023 4:47pm CST
Hello friends, today has been the most wonderful day of my life as I met one of my old friends back in school This usually troubles most of us, in a dilemma of whether to take a loan or not. for me in most cases, if it is not an emergency of life and death I cannot take a loan because of the terms of paying back the loan, what if I don't take it back in time? and with interest. what about you my friends, do you take loans , or it is kind of a big risk

I try as much as possible not to. But there are certain circumstances in which I had to. So, it depends on the urgency of the situation.

The only loan I ever took out was a student loan for my college education. If at all possible, avoid taking out a loan. If it is for an education or a home, that is worth considering. Other loans are usually bad ideas unless you are in a very good financial state.

I do not take out loans of any kind since I have fears of not being able to pay it back.

We try and save for anything we want rather than taking out a loan. The interest rate on some loans is terrible.

I don't want to take a loan if it is not really necessary. It will give me a high pressure to return to the money. I have ot think of that all the time.

I don’t like to take out a loan. I’d rather do without than take out a loan.

I have had many credit cards and would like a loan now. A payday loan is not so bad. You can pay back when you get paid. The thing is is if something comes up and you can't pay. Must be careful.

I have never taken a loan, the longer we borrow the more interest we have to pay back.

Years ago we took out a loan so that we could help our daughter buy a house. We only took on the loan after deeply thinking about it and talking about it. We paid it off in good time.

I did take house building loans twice. Once to build a house and another for its renovation. I have squared them up.
