Loan and how we can avoid it

Black and Brown Modern Urban Outfit Recommendations Youtube Thumbnail.png



One prevalent habit among people is taking loans, which is not considered a significant issue because society and the government encourage it. People take loans for various reasons, including fun or security, even when they can afford to purchase things without money. They do not hesitate to take a loan and pay it back later, even if the interest rates are high. This habit has become so common that some people may not even realize that it has become a part of their routine.

The habit of spending more as my mother calls it, can be alluring since it doesn't seem like you're spending more than you can afford. With the option of a repayment period, it may not seem like it's impacting your finances. However, taking a loan comes with extra costs and can prevent you from using the money wisely. It also creates a mindset that our income isn't enough, which can lead to a dangerous cycle of taking out loans.

Is it true that their is good or bad loan

It's true that a loan can be a double-edged sword. A good loan can be a blessing, putting money in our pockets and helping us achieve our goals. On the other hand, a bad loan can be a burden, draining our finances and causing undue stress. It's important to be distinguishing when it comes to taking out loans and to avoid those that will ultimately do more harm than good. Bad loans not only prevent us from saving but also put pressure on us to repay them, which can lead to high levels of stress and anxiety. Furthermore, if we become reliant on bad loans to make ends meet, we can quickly find ourselves in a cycle of debt, unable to get ahead.

Taking a loan can be risky, and it's a risk we should avoid as much as possible. Unexpected financial circumstances can arise after borrowing, making it difficult to repay the loan on time. That's why it's crucial to manage our finances properly. No matter how much money we make, poor financial management can lead to taking out loans to make ends meet. Sometimes, it's not that our income is insufficient, but our spending on unnecessary liabilities can leave our finances in a precarious situation.

Budgeting is all you need

Investors like Warren Buffett advise against taking on debt because they believe that building gradually is the key to success, regardless of whether the debt is good or bad. To avoid taking on loans, it is important to have proper budgeting. Budgeting not only helps us save money, but it also makes us more aware of our spending habits. As soon as we start to budget, we will be able to identify the liabilities and also the things we can do to help us invest more or save more for the future. However, without proper budgeting and planning, we won't be able to identify this, It will be easy for us to spend more, which will always result in us taking a loan. Personally, I don't advise people to take loans, be it good or bad loans, but I understand that there are some situations where you just need that cash no matter what, but not to put yourself in that kind of situation. That is why it is always important to have a budget and work towards it.

Well said bro, loan can be like double edged sword, only take loan if you know there are also multiple streams of income which you can use to pay back the loan before due date if not one should stay away or one will get choked

Loans can be addicting which is why I have always stayed away from them, even if I can pay it back it will be the last I consider.

A friend of mine took a loan after which he was unable to pay, so the bankers sealed his shop, so he has been living in misery ever since.

We must go for a loan our finance can handle, because if we don't it might jeopardize everything we are building. sorry for your friend.

Yeah like you've rightly mentioned, there are good and bad loans. So before getting a loan, we should be certain that we have a way to back and then our reasons for collecting the loan must be reasonable.

Exactly, the reason must be reason and not based on our emotions

I think it depends. If you can earn more than you are borrowing, I think it's decent but I do think that the loan should be something reasonable that they could pay off. I am also more of a fan if it's a fixed rate loan because at least you know how much you got to pay. However, I do agree that it's a double edged sword and you have to be very careful.

Even if we can pay back, we must be careful with it as it can prevent us from saving and building our portfolio

You've really highlighted the slippery slope of taking on debt, emphasizing that it's not just about the immediate relief but the long-term financial health.
