Yet Another Personal Finance Blog

Posted on 03 August 2008

We all have to consider the option of taking a loan at some point in our life. All of us make some purchases in life that are once in life time decisions for most of us. Good collage and school education, a nice auto-mobile, a decent place to live and call home. Most of these carry a price tag which is well beyond the reach of an average person who has just started his independent life. Unless your parents are filthy rich or you have just inherited a fortune, you can not buy any of above items by paying cash. A normal person simply does not have this kind of ready cash early in his life. To lead a decent life, you need good school and collage education, a good ride and a home. These needs are  immediate and we normally don’t have any choice but to seek loan from financial institutions and banks to fulfill those. We take school loans, collage loans, auto loans and seek home equity finance or mortgage to start our life.

Taking these loans means that we are pledging a certain percentage of our wages to repayment of these loans for next three to twenty years. It’s a huge commitment. Where you get these loans from and the interest rate we commit to is probably the biggest financial decision most of us make in our adult life. It is very important that we understand our options. We should know the institutions that provide loans for our needs. Even more important is to understand the rate of interest they charge on these loans. It is vital to to have the ability to see beyond the offer documents and to read between the lines of fine print. Failing to take such care can cost us thousands of extra dollars and lots of inconvenient surprises.

We have started this blog to help out each other by reviewing different personal finance products offered by US institutions. we will share our experience and would like to know about yours. we will provide advice to you on your financial problems based on our experience and knowledge.

  1. Nice points you made but I have an addition. It is of utmost importance that we distinguish between NEEDS and WANTS. It is “financial suicide” taking a loan to meet WANTS. Even when taking loan to meet a need, so much care must be taken as pointed out in the post. Nice one. Cheers.
