Check cash advance
I just hate it when I run out of money before the next paycheck. It doesn’t happen often, but it has in the past.
When I was just 18 or 19 years old and new to living in Toronto and managing my money I found that I had more problems managing my money. This was a problem because most of my bills came in at the beginning of the month and if I had mismanaged my money some bills only got partially paid, or if I did have enough to pay all the bills I was low on cash for buying other things I needed- like groceries.
As you can tell I didn’t make a lot of money when I first moved here. I remember one time when I was very low on cash and went to a shop here in Canada called “Money Mart”. It’s the same company that offers Payday Cash Advance Loans. I guess that’s just it’s Canadian name.
I was getting a regular paycheck and I had it, but I think it was a Friday and the banks were closed and I wouldn’t be able to deposit it into my account until Monday. I needed the money that day. So I went in with my check and I was approved for a Check Cash Advance. The company took a small percentage of the check as a fee for the service, but I had the majority of my pay check to spend as I wished.
I’ve never had to get a Cash Advance since that time. No it’s not because I suddenly developed better money management skills. Well, they have improved but they didn’t improve over night. Either way, I suppose I just never needed money that quickly again. However, If a similar situation did come up in the future I know I’d try it again.
