We hear a lot of BBQ chatter about personal loans, but is a personal loan the best way to go about getting money?
Something that we see in our business is that applying for a personal loan is the first go to for a lot of people, but is this the right way to structure your loan, or is there a better more cost-effective way to get your hands on the money you need now?
We’ll try our best to answer these questions and more right now!
On the market right now, the personal loans that are on offer generally range from $5000 to $50,000 depending on the lender. But what could you use it for?
One popular reason that people tell us that they need a personal loan for is to consolidate debt.
Problem – You have two or more debts that have high interest rates (Credit Cards for example)
Solution – You take out a personal loan, at a lower interest rate, to pay off those debts
Result – You’re left with just one debt and a lower interest rate
Imagine you had these debts:
Credit card #1 debt $12000, interest rate 19.99 per cent
Credit card #2 debt $9,000, interest rate 18.50 per cent
Car loan debt $15,000, interest rate 9.75 per cent
Now imagine you took out a $36,000 personal loan ($12,000 + $9,000 + $15,000), at 6.99 per cent, to pay off those three loans. You’d still owe the same amount of money, but now your interest repayments would be reduced, and you’d have just one loan to manage.
Although it’s very simple these days to apply online for a personal loan, there many other loan structures that may suit you better. Therefore, it’s important to ask an independent expert for some advice before applying.
