National Pay Day

Everybody's after your salary even before you earn it. Nope, not just your wife, but Everybody!

Banks are charging lesser on transaction costs if you invest in their mutual funds products on a monthly basis using your salary. This is becasue your salary acts as a form of guaranteed monthly cash flow for the bank, and they are "banking" on the fact that most people tend to forget where their money is being siphoned off to if its done electronically and remains hassle free for the investor.

Anyway, coming back to the point of short term loans, who needs short term loans in the first place? If you barely qualify for the no faxing payday loan that National Pay Day offers, then you are probably the right candidate. If you make about $1,000 per month, a 16-day tenure loan of a max of $600 means a 60% increase in your salary. But if $600 is considered critical for your needs, and you have no other avenues to turn to except for short-term loan companies, my advise is that you start saving. Seriously, please start examining your financial health because you should have at least 3 months worth of savings for emergency users.

I know this is probably easy for me to say esp. since I am not in any financial crisis, but I'm saying this because you will probably just dig yourself in a deeper hole by turning to short term loans. Don't forget that the interest rate is 25% - that's 1% higher than what most credit card companies are charging on a late payment. So, I guess the only reason you should take out a short term loan is if you can find an investment that guarantees you a 26% return within 16 days on a $600 principal. If you can find such a vehicle, pls let me know; I don't mind earning $6 every 16 days.

For those with strong willpower, that's a good offer for you - Your first $300 from National Pay Day is Free. Free in the sense that you just have to pay back $300 after 16 days and not $375. Again I stress that this is for those with strong willpower.
