For most of us, a loan can be so convenient and a great facilitator to our ultimate projects. It is a fact that it would take a great struggle for many of us to save cash for big plans in the future. It would be a bliss though if we could finance our projects from our own savings to get rid of the added interest from loans, but .. cash can slip through easily from our hands or even from the safe vault of our bank. There will always be that circumstance that we will ‘be forced’ to pay or withdraw our projected amount for any ‘crucial’ circumstance that befalls to our love ones like medications, hospitalization... or our personal agenda. Some because a friend had convinced them for a lucrative business venture, still some just ‘borrowed’ their savings for some shorties in their allocated budgets. There will be more reasons and reasons… and before we knew it, our savings had depleted and our supposed project still remains as an elusive dream. Loan play conveniently in this aspect. Provided that the loan was spent to its purpose, the added interest will be looked down as a tip to the bank for making your dream materialized at the shortest time.
It is so sad though that some just take loans to finance their superficial desires of their conceited prides. Amassing things that they can do without.. These are people who usually use this facility to finance their ego. They just can’t live below with someone whom they believed to be ‘sub-standard,’ and yet living in comfort, and ... reach out to elevate themselves to compete with those above them. This competition of pride that push a man to be greedy makes a loan a monster. They will only realize that continued pursuit of a life beyond their means will bury them dead.
Loans indeed can be a friend, or ... your worst nightmare. One just have to make a choice to live with the things he wants, or… with the things he needs..
