Reflections on Signature Loans


We were recently reading an interesting article about taking control of personal debt problems that gave us a reason to reflect a bit. There was an anecdote about someone whose romantic interest kept demanding expensive gifts to the point where the would-be suitor maxed out all his credit cards buying costly presents. Finally he saw the light, dumped the girl friend and went to his credit union for help. He was able to get a signature loan to pay off all the credit card debt for a more manageable interest rate.

This got us to thinking about borrowing and how signature loans may be an untapped resource.
