Home | $20 To $30 Debt Reality - Facing the Man in The Mirror By: Eric Jilson Debt - everyone has a different comfort level. There is no one-size-fits-all on how much debt you should take on. However, that does not mean there are not any guidelines to consider when looking at debt. Financial lending institutions and credit card companies naturally are eager to loan any and all the money the think (backed up with credit scores and credit history) borrowers can afford to repay. The lending companies do take risk but they are very calculated. They factor in current interest, credit history along with default rates before granting a loan. Make sure you do your own calculations. Before looking for a loan take a hard look at your financial position. Can you realistically handle the payments? Will the payments create a hardship? Do you see an increase in income coming in the future? Factor that income in - a bank and business would. But make sure the increase is really going to happen. Promises and hopes do little in the way of guaranteed money. Examine the present interest rates, what way are they headed? No one can know for sure what the future will bring but there are plenty of people who spend their days looking at trends. General trends do not happen randomly. Take a serious look at the person in the mirror. Pretend you are a bank and take a hard look at your credit history. Put yourself in the banker's shoes. Would you be willing to loan $15,000 to the person in the mirror at 6.5% for 60 months? Stop the excuses on late payments. Some do have a legitimate reason but it is possible you do not or have not developed the resources required to take on that debt at the present time. Look over all of your income and realistically pour over your expenses. Can you meet your current obligations and take on the extra $500 per month in expenses without sacrificing essentials. Do not lie to yourself! You may discover that poor credit will make consumer loans impossible. Only you can decide if taking on an extra $200 per month payment on your credit card at 12% to buy that 50-inch flat screen TV you cannot live without. It all comes down to how much value you put on the item against saving the money and paying cash all at once! There is nothing wrong with buying items you want, but take the time to measure the cost. Buying on impulse is the how many people find themselves deep in credit card debt and must face a loan application with bad credit. Always examine the true cost. Plan your purchases. Not facing the true fact of your current financial position and the fact that you cannot afford an item or the payments is a proven fast track to financial problems. A quick unplanned buying decision can take years to recover from. Be realistic, think long term, measure the cost and you can make the right decision on how much debt - if any - is right for you.
