I’ve been lucky over the last few years in that I haven’t had to take out a loan for any purchases or major expenses, but there was a time when I had three loans on the go at once. It was stressful! However, I was running my own small business and I had to take out loans to purchase some of the equipment that I needed for my business. That old saying “You have to spend money to make money” is true!

As you can see, I’ve always tried to only take out loans when I’ve needed to. I’ve had loans for my business, the purchase of a car, a student loan, and I suppose in many ways you could call a mortgage a loan too.

I think that there are many good reasons to take out loans, but it’s quite possible that many people end up taking out loans for the wrong reasons. By this I mean, people get into debt with their credit cards, gambling, or through poor choices and then need to get a loan to bail themselves out. If that only happens once and the person learns from the experience I suppose that’s ok, but when they keep doing the same things over and over – driving their credit rating to ground as they over spend – well, that’s not good. Those kind of people need to learn to live within their means. Do you agree?
