Suppose that your employer gives you salary after every two weeks period. One week has passed and your salary has ended. Suddenly you know that your friend is coming with his family to spend a week with your family. How will you deal with this situation? Fortunately, a lending industry is available for your help.

As you are in urgent need of money, you will visit a payday lender for getting a loan from him. You will tell him the amount that you want to borrow from him. In its reply, he will ask you to write a post-dated cheque. You will fill the cheque with your borrowed amount plus the interest on it. After this he will give you the amount that you urgently require for your needs. The lender also asks you to provide your social contacts along with your post-dated cheque.

You will take the money from payday lender and come back to home. Now payday lender will send your cheque to your bank. Your written amount will be withdrawn from your account at its date. If the cheque bounced back, lender will use your social contacts for getting the written amount on cheque back from you.

The biggest disadvantage of payday loans is its price to the customer. Let us have a more detailed look at the charges of payday loans.

For example, if you take a two week payday loan for $200 and have to pay a fee of $20, the amount you owe after fourteen days would be $215. Let us look at the calculations:

$20 / 14 days = $1.43 per day

The amount of $1.43 does not seem that much, but just imagine that you would not be able to pay this amount for a year.

$1.43 x 365 days = $521.95

At the year end, besides your principal amount of $200, you also have to pay additional $521.95. It means that your Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is around 522 percent.

The normal payday loan fee in many states is $15 per $100. How much would you owe at end of the year?

$15 / 14 days = $1.07 per day

$1.07 x 365 days = $391

APR = 391 percent

It is quite vivid that for the time line of two weeks the amount of $10 or $15 fee is sharp, but handy. On the contrary, when you are unable to pay the loan after two weeks and you have to resolve it, your fees start to add up.

If you have planned to move within a couple of years then it is better to rent a home rather than to buy it. And if you live in an urban area with good public transportation then occasionally renting a car could be a more sensible decision than owning one.

Renting is mostly a big financial trap

But for other things, renting is nothing but a big financial trap. It seems that the fact that is being disguised by the low payments is that you’re giving more and getting less than what you would if you have bought the same thing that you have rent.

Which things you should never Rent?

Here I have mentioned five things for which renting is a terrible idea:

1. Rims.

At Rent A Wheel in Van Nuys, Calif., for a set of VCT Grissini wheels you can pay the cash price of $1,612, or as an alternative you can pay $62 a week for a year — and pay for them exactly double as $62 times 52 weeks is $3,224.
