Read the fine print before signing a loan contract |
Loans are a part of life almost everyone has to deal with at
some point. Whether it is for a new car,
a college education or for a credit card, loans are a mainstay. Enterprises TV
shares some advice about taking a loan.
One of the most imperative parts of any loan contract is the
fine print. Many prospective loan takers skip over this part of the contract
and sign paperwork quickly. But by doing that, they are setting themselves up
for grief later on. The fine print can contain language for balloon payments
and changes in interest rates. Don’t get caught with a higher payment. Take all
the time needed to read every page and all the fine print on a loan document.
If it seems that a salesperson or other representative is rushing for a
signature, that’s a good sign to slow down and read everything.
Always keep in mind the long term effects of a loan. Vehicle
loans can affect a household budget for up to five years. Even shorter term
loans can make a dent in personal finances for a year or more. Before signing
on the dotted line, take a hard look at the household budget to be sure it can
handle the loan payment.
The Enterprises TV show also learns that some people take
out loans for frivolous things such as plastic surgery, a big date with a very
special someone and for other reasons. But what the loan takers don’t consider
with these “emotional” loans is that they will be making a payment every month
for a year or more to get what they want. Always be mindful of how long a loan,
of any kind, will affect home finances before signing the contract.
