Things to Think About Before Taking a Loan

by Oliver Mcaninch
15/05/2017

Loans are a great way to get the money that is needed right now. There are things to think about before taking a loan. The first step is simple. Everyone knows that they must consider these things and decide if taking out a loan is the best personal decision to make. While it is nice to have the money for that new shiny item, a nice wedding, or even an unexpected expenditure, there are some things to consider first. Here are a few things for anyone considering getting a loan.

Is the money truly needed right now?

If not, then a loan should be avoided. If the money is for an essential need in life, though, then it might be a good decision. The decision is up to the borrower. The question is about need versus want.

Could a Less Expensive Purchase Work?

If the purchase is truly a need verses a want, then a less expensive purchase should be considered. That way the person get their needs met, but they don’t need to take out a loan to do. If the loan is more than they can afford, then that is the best option.

Are the Payments Affordable?

The payments on a loan must work with the future, budget for the loan to be the best choice for a person. Just because someone can get a loan does not always indicate that they can actually afford to repay it in full. Failure to repay a loan can cause damage to the future credit of the person that applied and liens can be placed on assets that are already owned. It is very important to consider the payments before taking out a loan.

The interest rate is part of the life of the loan. Over time, there are interest charges that are due to the lender once a loan has been taken out by a borrower. Those interest rates can be really high. That increases the cost of the repayment of the loan, and it can cause problems paying the loan back. Even if the borrower does pay the loan back in full, it can cause the original amount of the loan to be quadrupled. While there are some laws in place to control this, many lenders are allowed to charge what they want to lend money to a borrower. The interest rate is based on how much of a risk the borrower is on the loan.

Timeframe for Repayment

This is really extremely important because, in some cases, the timeframe that is required for repayment can cause the original loan to be quadrupled. If the timeframe for repayment is shorter, then the payments will be larger, but save the borrower money in the end in interest charges.

The What Factor

What if something happens after taking out the loan? Things can happen in life. When they do, it’s usually not to the borrower’s advantage. That can have some serious adverse consequences for people. To avoid this, most people expect to take out no more than one paycheck’s worth of money. Some even cut that into halves. That way, if something does happen, the borrower can manage a payback schedule which can be set up with the bank. That is why borrowers should carefully weigh the what would happen if factor. What if they lost a job? What if a medical emergency happened? What if a car accident happened. The answer to those questions are important. A safety net is always needed just in case.
