Basic Financial Bills
Getting a cash advance can be a great way to help you pay for your bills if you’re falling behind. It’s an easy way to get money fast until your next paycheck comes in. I personally use cash advances on a regular basis and am here to let others know that they are not as bad as many people make them out to be.
I am a student; I work a job part time and go to school full time. Some months it’s really hard for me to get by, depending on how much school work I get I have to switch shifts around constantly which means some weeks I only work about 15 hours. Thankfully I share a place with 3 other girls so our rent and utilities is super expensive, but it still gets tricky to make ends meet sometimes.
I have used cash advances (also known as payday loans) several times in order to pay my bills on time for several months. I make up for it by working extra hours on the days where my schoolwork load is not as heavy. It’s worked out pretty well for me, sometimes I pay the amount in full (depending on how much it is) and other times I work out a payment plan with the loan company where my minimum payment is manageable and small enough for me to afford. This is not the ideal as you will end up paying more for your loan this way, but sometimes there is just no choice to do this way.
The nice thing is that you have a choice. One thing I like about taking out these kind of loans is that they don’t require a credit check, I don’t have bad credit (one reason why people chose these loans) but I don’t want to take a hit on my credit either, so this way I can borrow money and not have credit checks done all the time. It’s a great way to start to build up your credit as well. I know I should probably just take out a credit card, which I will soon. I did the loans because I can get the exact amount of money I need when I want it. Look I’m no whiz when it comes to money, but so far not having credit cards has been a good thing for me and using cash advances every once in a while has proved to help me out in several occasions.
I would definitely recommend that other people use this method of borrowing if they need money fast. I know it’s becoming increasingly popular among college kids my age, my roommates have also used them successfully as well as a bunch of other people on campus, that’s how we heard about it. The rule is to make sure that you are able to pay it back, and plan in advance before taking out a loan to make sure that you will be able to pay it back promptly to avoid paying to many fees. Otherwise it’s a quick and convenient way to get money.
