Have you ever dreamed of a new car, a comfortable home renovation, or finally tackling a mountain of student loans? Borrowing money can be a great way to achieve your goals, but it’s important to understand what you’re really getting into. That’s where loan disclaimers come in – they’re like a little map hidden in a treasure chest, guiding you to understand the true cost and terms of your…

The TF 141 Compatibility Love Report

For: @sentientcave

Disclaimer:

This is based on my personal opinion and interpretation of you and the character. 

the user makes no claims to be a real doctor or any medical professional. The (not) Doctor has but a penny and some lint to her name so please don’t sue if you hate the results! (seriously these student loans are already taking their pound of flesh, in the words of Whitney Houston (RIP Queen) I have NOTHINGGG!)

The Doc says your TF 141 Perfect Match is…

Captain John Price!

Romance: Do you possibly have a thing for authority? Maybe you like the idea of having a partner who is consistently solid in the face of adversity?  If so then I think Price is for you! John is a solid force. Often his more forward nature is overshadowed by Ghost, but Price is just as focused and relentless. As a partner to you I think Price would help guide and affirm you in a way that is calculating and keeps in mind your need for agency. Despite his more gruff qualities I think he has the capability of being kind and affectionate to his partners. Holding you close by a fireplace, kisses on the cheek that itch because of his beard, drives in the countryside with his hand on you at all times. Price’s relationship with you would be like Whiskey and Sunday mornings.

Don’t cuss me out, but I think maybe you’d like a bit of dominance and possessiveness kink? If I’m not wrong, Price would work for you well. He is someone with infinite control of his emotions but he makes what he wants and how he wants it well known. That would apply for you as well. I think you have an invested interest in morality or at least in being understanding. I can’t see you enjoying being with someone who is completely in it for themselves, so Price and his morally gray views are the perfect medium. He’d also be the type to go down swinging about you and God forbid if he can’t get down and dirty in a fight he’d use every trick in the book to psychologically handle business.

Which leads me to the freak shit!

Sex: Idk my radar is pinging off a possible size/dominance kink friend. Price is someone who would take control of your senses in every way. The layered notes of the cigars he smokes on his skin, using his broadness to overwhelm you, gruffly whispering what he’s gonna do and how. Yeah… he’s great if you want some nasty freak shit that toes the line to being a no holds bar wrestling match. Despite the fandom calling him old I think his pride and self control will keep him in the sack. Good luck Charlie (hahaha) because he’s not someone who’ll be okay with giving you the bare minimum. 

Possible points of Contention:

Self righteous

Obstinate bastard

Morally gray may turn a lil more in the black when threatened

Beard burn and your couch will always smell of smoke 

Your Poly Pairing (haha) is….

PriceSoap!

This is all intuitive and the dark spirits tell me this is the pairing that would work best for you. I think the two would always keep you on your toes in the best and sometimes worst ways lmao. Every day would be different with them and who doesn't like a owner (Price) who has perfect control of their dog (Soap). Soap can remind you to smell the roses and roll with the punches and Price will be the solid force behind you, ready to lend an ear or take over if you need him to!

Fuck it! US Private Student Loans Guide!

DISCLAIMER: while I have worked in private loans specifically for five+ years, this isn't ‘financial’ advice and is just a heavily summarized guide on how to navigate them. Yes, these loans suck, but complain to your legislators not me. I’m just trying to help you know what you’re doing. Additional info for each section is under the cut!

1) Who are you and who are all the companies constantly running around with my money?

I work in loan SERVICING, which is basically the billing department. If you’ve got a new company asking you for money, it's probably a new servicer and your debt is still owned by the bank. We enforce the terms in the promissory note, the document you sign telling the bank “yeah I'll play by your rules if you give me the money.” If your loan defaults, you’ll get contacted by a third (fourth?) party, but how that works is beyond my wheelhouse. The bank or your servicer should be able to confirm what happens in case of default.

2) What am I looking for in a ‘good’ loan?

Generally, you’re going to want SIMPLE instead of compound interest, a FIXED RATE opposed to a variable one, and you’ll want to go for FULL DEFERMENT while in school and make manual payments when you can. Also ask up front about stuff like if disability forgiveness or co-signer release (getting your parents off it) is offered.

3) This loan sucks! How do I make it better?

Student loans are NOTORIOUSLY hard to get out of, unfortunately. If the interest rate/payment relief options suck, you can try to REFINANCE where you take out a new loan to pay off the old one. This gives you a new promissory note, interest rate, and terms/conditions. If you’re trying to erase the debt entirely, ask for the promissory note (if they can't provide a copy, we have to forgive the debt. I've only seen this happen ONCE.) or try to go through social security disability.

DO NOT USE FREEDOM DEBT RELIEF OR OTHER SERVICES. DO NOT. THEY ARE SCAMS.

More in depth information for each point!

1) Lenders and Servicers

The lender is the person who provides the funds in the debt - the bank who pays the school or the hospital or the home contractor fixing your sink. The servicer is the company that is your point of contact when you need to make payments, ask for payment relief, or otherwise manage the loan that exists. Think of us as the mechanic (we keep the car running) where the bank is the manufacturer (they make the car). Some different servicers are SoFi, Zuntafi, Great Lakes, Nelnet and Firstmark Services; their names will be on the billing statements. Some different banks are Citizens, US Bank, NorthStar; their names will be on the promissory note and the disclosures.

Sometimes banks do sell the debt, however! A couple years ago Wells Fargo sold an enormous chunk of their loans off somewhere (an investment group, maybe?) but! The promissory note will still be the EXACT same if your debt gets sold. You’ll only get a new promissory note if you refinance the loan yourself.

2a) Interest Accrual and Rates

Interest is how banks profit off the loans they give out and/or ‘ensure they don't end up with a loss if the loan defaults’. (It's profit.) Most, but not all, loans calculate interest with the simple daily interest formula, shown below:

[(Current loan balance) x (interest rate)] divided by 365

If your loan’s balance is $10,000 and your interest rate is 6% you’ll be charged $1.64 each day. SIMPLE INTEREST means that this interest just kind of floats around on the account until a payment comes in and pays it off, where COMPOUND adds that interest to the balance at the end of the month/day/whatever. Compound charges you more over the life of the loan.

FIXED INTEREST is a set percent that doesn't change, where VARIABLE will change usually based on whatever the economy is doing. There’s a minimum and maximum value to the variable interest rates, so if you’re doing a variable ASK WHAT THE MINS AND MAXES ARE. A fixed rate might be 8% and a variable might be 3.25% the day you take it out, but that variable could have a maximum interest rate of 25% so be VERY, VERY CAREFUL. If you get stuck in a real bad variable interest rate, your best solution is probably a refinance.

2b) Deferment and Payment Allocation

So interest is gonna be accruing on your loan from the day the money leaves the bank. Sucks. And you may not be able to make payments while you're in school, so opting to DEFER your payments will stop them from billing you so you can skip a month or whatever without penalty. At the END of that deferment, though, whatever interest that accrued will be added to your current balance. If we use the example from above (10k loan with 1.64 daily interest) four years of school will add $2,400 to your balance and then your daily interest will jump up to $2.03 a day.

Solution? Make payments of what you can while you’re in school to chip away at that floating interest. Usually when you make a payment, it’s gonna go towards the interest first and then the rest drops the balance. (E.g. if you make a $20.00 payment ten days after your loan is disbursed, $16.40 will go towards interest and $3.60 towards your 10k balance). There is NO PENALTY for making extra payments or making early payments, but it might make your bills look a little weird if you’re being billed each month for just the interest.

3) Why are these loans so horrible? Can’t I find anything to help me?

Blame Reagan and the republicans who enabled him.

No, but really. The problem with these loans is that those promissory notes are VERY legally binding and have lots of fine print in there designed to make it as hard as possible for someone to skimp out on their debt without having their credit score decimated. Some lenders might even dip into your paychecks if you're crazy behind or default; again, that's not my wheelhouse and I've only maybe seen that once. Your best bet is just to pay it off as fast as possible (again, no penalty for paying the loan off early) or refinance into better terms.

And I get it. I really do. I hate how we’ve made so many incredibly important things in our society locked behind a paywall that charges poor people more to climb than the rich. But if you’ve made it this far, please don't turn your anger at me for not giving you the answers you want. The best I can do is vote for people who are willing to crack down on predatory lending, keep fighting for student loan forgiveness… and at my own job, make sure that my coworkers aren't making mistakes.

If you have a more specific question, I can try to answer as best I can without breaking any information privacy laws. And take care, okay? You are never fighting alone.

[f0point5]

is george and carmen’s old money style “real”, so to speak? i remember you talked about how you previously thought george had a very posh accent but it turns out he doesn’t, and i’ve seen one of carmen’s stories saying that her family struggled financially during the financial crisis and that she paid off her student loans, but every picture i see of their family (incl old pics) looks like they’re incredibly well off so im not really sure. also idk much about GR’s background

i will say they definitely play into it, but not sure if it’s more authentic or more calculated/fabricated (which there’s no problem with)

Disclaimer - I am not an aristocrat or upper class or old money in any way.

But as a British person I can say with relative certainty, neither are they.

George comes from Cambridgeshire, from what I believe is a staunchly middle class area. He doesn’t speak Queen’s English, which is by no means a foolproof way of knowing someone’s social strata but it’s a pretty strong indicator. He went to grammar school, which doesn’t always mean you can’t afford private school (I went to a grammar school because of the academics (and then got kicked out and went to private school lol)), but a lot of the time parents who can’t swing a private education for all three kids but still want their kids to achieve academically will try and get them into grammar school. I am also pretty sure I’ve read that George’s brother had to stop karting because the family couldn’t afford both of them karting. Now, karting is very expensive for the average family so that doesn’t mean the family was struggling, but in contrast, Lando has several siblings who all attended public school and were fully supported in expensive hobbies. So George’s family probably didn’t have money money. So in summation, he comes across very middle class. He has such an Eton face and he’s at every high society event going so you just assume he’s Saltburn levels but I don’t think he is. Also, might I add, he doesn’t give rich kid vibes at all. Lando does, massively. George does not. To me, anyway.

I don’t know much about Carmen’s family, I read somewhere her dad is a lawyer, which again is a pretty standard white collar profession. I can’t speak to the socioeconomic level of her family at all as I don’t know too much about Spain. What I can say is that if you’re not a UK citizen (which I presume Carmen isn’t since she only came to the UK for university and seems to have Spanish/German ancestry) university fees will be on average 20k a year, and you aren’t eligible for student finance, which is the government loan which is set at very good terms. I think it would be unusual for Carmen to take out a loan for that amount to get her degree if her family could afford to pay for it upfront.

So that’s my evidence for saying I don’t think either of them come from generational wealth.

I could go on about the pure vibes but I would probably get roasted so I won’t. Suffice it to say I think their portrayal of themselves in the old money aesthetic is a little bit of a meta commentary on that trend.

I think it’s just how they’ve branded themselves. They both have the faces for it, George very much leans into the “English gent” thing, which fits with the Mercedes brand and also the Tommy Hilfiger brand. I think it’s a case of what opportunities you get offered and then you lean into the perception to keep up with those lucrative opportunities. Nothing wrong with that at all, but it’s definitely a curate couple image, in my opinion.

Why The Gang Became Robbers

CW: Discussions of Poverty and Money

So, it’s somewhat theorized that the gang started stealing because of financial reasons. There’s actually some allusions to this in the movie itself, with them planning to stop stealing after the heist they were eventually caught for, them seeming to live in the shop, Johnny’s clothes seeming to be hand-me-downs (his dad’s jacket, a shirt that’s a few sizes too big with worn out sleeves, well worn-too large jeans), and mostly using walkie talkies instead of their phones (data is expensive). I started to wonder how deep in debt they actually were sooo... I did some calculations.

--------------------------

Disclaimer: All of these were based of the average costs of everything in the state of California (Calatonia is based on LA and San Francisco). There were some generosity here in debt calculations including giving them a good credit score when they applied for the loan and assuming they had only been in the states 7 years. Oh and that they had a bit money when they came to the US.

----------------------------------------------------

Debts

The Garage Itself

Building Price: $2,250,00

Down Payment (20%): $450,000

30-Year Fixed Loan Plan with Interest of 5.395%

Credit Score (I’m trying to help them out here): 729

Annual Property Tax: $28,125

Annual Home Insurance: $7,875

Monthly Payment: $13,102

Annual Total Building Payments: $193,224

Plus Other Expenses (calculated from average 2 person household costs)

Food, Water, Electricity: $24,475.8

Health Insurance: $0

Car Insurance: $0

----------------------------------------------------

Now, the total mortgage would be around 4.62708 million when calculating in 7 years of interest rates. And if we look at the average yearly income of a mechanic in California... 

Yeah, Marcus is only taking home around $16,958 dollars per year, and that’s being generous with both rates and overtime. So, without even factoring in the debt, as well as assuming that Stan and Barry are not included in their household income, the Taylor family is almost $2,000 dollars below the Californian poverty line.

Now, let’s take a look at their plan here. We know that the gold shipment they were planning on stealing in Sing 1 was around 25 million dollars worth. Well, that would clearly pay off their entire mortgage, as well as probably help Stan and Barry with whatever financial issues they might be facing. It would also give them a good cushion for a few years going forward, preventing them from going into debt easily again.

With the seven years of payments totaling $599,844, and assuming that they have stolen at least $2.163,677 to pay towards the debt before, in Sing 1, they only owe a much more reasonable $1,863,559.

And while that is still a lot, if a rich person, say an old musical theatre star, wanted to guarantee that the performers at their old theatre troupe wouldn’t be falling onto a bad path, they could pay that off much easier than the full mortgage.

So, in conclusion, Johnny and his family, stolen money included in this, are still some of the poorest characters in all of Sing. They probably didn’t want to steal in the first place either, judging by how they were planning on stopping after the flubbed heist anyway. They were just desperate. they needed money, and clearly the garage plus whatever side jobs Johnny could have potentially had were not enough. 

I believe that the main reason we don’t see them still stealing in Sing 2 is that their debts were paid off, more than likely by Nana Noodleman as she’s the only one with that amount of money lying around. This allowed them to begin working again without a immediate threat of debt, and with the money Johnny’s bringing in from the theatre, the family is probably in a bit better shape.

Home Loan Affordability Using Income

Alright, so you’re earning an X amount of money every month and you want to know if you can afford that dream house of yours? Well, calculating affordability only based on income is a job half done, hence here’s a piece on how to accurately calculate the affordability of a house.

But, since we’re here, let’s dance!

Total Income

Okay, first things first. You need to calculate how much is your total family income. Include all income sources here like taking weekend classes, any kind of freelance jobs, or income from second jobs as well. If your spouse is earning or a parent as well, then include that. Basically, all the people who are going to be invested in the new house.

Total Expenses

Now, minus the total expenditure. This should include any existing EMIs, insurance premiums, SIPs (that you can’t stop), grocery expenses, education expenditure, et al. All of those things that take money away from you, should be included here. Another aspect that you need to consider is your Future Expenses. Maybe your kid wants to go to Stanford or you feel like you should own an MG Hector because your colleague thinks that a new house deserves a new car. Does a parent need to undergo major surgery, or is one of your kids getting married within the next 2 years? What if there’s damage due to natural disaster, vehicle damage, job loss and God knows what can happen. What if a deadly virus breaks out, locks down an entire country, and crashes the economy! Would you be able to sustain yourself given that you would have an additional liability of monthly EMIs? Therefore, remember to have a Safety Net where you park money for your emergencies and unavoidable expenses. A general rule of thumb says to have at least 6 months of total expenses as a safety net amount. Apart from this, also have about 1% of the gross house price for emergency house repairs, maintenance, and enhancements.

Let’s suppose the following

Net family income – Rs. 50,000

Total Monthly Expenses – Rs. Rs. 20,000

Net cash in hand – Rs. 30,000

Now, you’re ready and you know how much EMI you can afford to pay.

Suppose you can afford to pay Rs.26,000 (approx.) EMI per month @ 8.5%. How much money can you afford to borrow? Rs.30,00,000!

Okay, let’s say you’re going to be borrowing 80% of the total house cost. So, 30,00,000 is 80% of which number? Rs.37,50,000 (Borrowed amount ÷ 80%). That’s the maximum value of the house that you can afford. And hey, don’t be flattered by my math skills here. I’ll be honest. I used this nifty EMI calculator to get all the answers. Just one disclaimer here – I’ve assumed loan tenure to be of 20 years because that’s the usual tenure that most people go for. But you can change that as well.

Are Solar Panels a Ripoff?

Solar panels are a great way to reduce your energy bills. They also help the environment. However, homeowners should be wary of shady salespeople and make sure they understand their state’s laws on incentives.

Scams in solar energy can include posing as state or utility representatives, making inflated claims of rebates and savings, and pushing solar leases or PPAs (power purchase agreements). These scams are a huge risk to consumers.

They’re a great investment

If you are solar panels a ripoff ? Make sure to research the industry and technology thoroughly. This will help you avoid scams and pitfalls. Moreover, it will help you understand how to calculate your overall solar savings. This is a complex calculation, which requires determining upfront costs of the system less all available federal investment tax credits and state/local rebates. It also includes loan fees and interest.

It is important to remember that solar energy is a long-term investment. Although it can reduce your electricity bills and cut your carbon footprint, you should be aware that it can take years before you get a return on your investment.

In order to avoid scams, be sure to compare quotes from multiple companies and consider the Better Business Bureau and your state consumer protection agency. Lastly, avoid solar companies that offer leases instead of purchasing. These types of contracts are difficult to back out of and do not provide the same tax breaks as a purchase.

They’re a ripoff

The solar energy industry has exploded in popularity, offering homeowners an opportunity to produce clean, renewable energy and save money. However, the boom has also given rise to scammers and shady companies.

Many scams in the solar energy sector involve misleading or false claims. Some are reminiscent of old-fashioned door-to-door scams, while others are more modern contracting shams. Regardless of how they are conducted, these scams often violate state consumer protection laws.

Homeowners should be especially wary of ads and posts that promise free solar panels. These claims are usually based on PPAs or solar leases, which don’t provide ownership of the solar system and exclude homeowners from federal and state incentive programs and rebates. In addition, they may be offered with a grace period or $0 down, but consumers should understand that these deals will still cost them in the long run. It’s also important to keep in mind that solar systems do not work only in sunny weather. Sunlight reaches the Earth’s surface on cloudy, rainy, and snowy days, too.

They’re a scam

While solar energy is a great investment, there are scammers who take advantage of people eager to adopt this new technology. These sham companies masquerade as reputable businesses, and use aggressive sales tactics to close a deal. They make false promises and misrepresent state and federal incentives. In addition, they may charge exorbitant prices and impose long-term contracts that are difficult to back out of.

The scammers may be after your personal information or claim they have a special government program that will reimburse your upfront costs for installing solar panels on your home. These ads are usually displayed on Facebook and are accompanied by an official-looking disclaimer. Some even feature a “solar expert” or a celebrity endorsement.

These shams can cause a significant financial loss for the consumer. They also hurt the solar industry and jeopardize a clean energy future. To avoid these problems, be careful when choosing a company and check with the Better Business Bureau and your local consumer protection agency.

They’re not a ripoff

Solar tech panels extract value over time and can be a great investment for homeowners. Whether it’s the energy they provide or the financial security of having power in an outage, solar panels are worth the initial upfront costs and can pay for themselves over a decade in most cases. Homeowners can also save even more on their electricity bills by evaluating local energy prices and incentives.

However, the solar industry can be prone to inexperienced salespeople who make misleading claims. These false or deceptive claims can lead to consumers being misled and overpaying for solar power. Consumers should be wary of companies that offer PPAs or solar leases and should always read their contract carefully. Any misrepresentations should be reported to the Federal Trade Commission. These false claims not only hurt individual consumers but the entire industry as well. They also jeopardize a clean energy future for all Americans. The good news is that these scams are easy to spot and avoid if you know what to look out for.

Credit Scores

Disclaimer: Some of this advice may not be immediately applicable to people who are struggling financially.

On the other hand, if you are responsible with money & lucky, your credit score will pretty much take care of itself.

I just don't want anyone to be accidentally lowering their credit score because they don't know the "rules of the game."

.......................................................................................................................

Dos:

--Pay off all your debt owed every single month - car loan, mortgage and yes credit card. (It's a common falsehood that carrying a credit card balance helps your score, it only does harm plus wastes your money on interest.)

--Keep your credit card spending below 30% of your official spending limit for that card; lower% is even better.

--For an credit card bill above the 30%, pay your balance before the "statement date" and don't wait until the due date.

--If you get a significant raise or other financial boon, contact your credit card company to request a raise to your spending limit.

--Focus on your FICO credit score, and don't worry about any other credit score calculators.

--Avoid "hard inquiries" into your credit unless you expect to be approved for an imminent large purchase (vehicles, rental/mortgage, etc.)

--Only take out credit if you know you won't abuse it. A "thin file" is better than a file full of financial red flags.

Don'ts:

--Cancel your oldest credit card. Keep it going, set it up to autopay a small monthly bill (netflix, water, or the like)

--Apply for new credit cards unless you really need them. The hard credit check, the newness of the credit line, any overdue payments, and any spending near that card's credit limit can ALL harm your credit score.

--Expect a credit score change to change immediately or directly due to increased income or increased savings. Those factors are not a part of your credit score (though of course if you budget that money well, your credit score will eventually reflect your better financial stability).

--Fuss if your credit score is 740 instead of 850; 740 is the low end of the "perfect" range, you'll be approved for basically anything.

--Worry if your starting credit score is below 740. Nothing is wrong and you are not being penalized. Credit scores include 5 components: payment history, amounts owed, length of credit history, credit mix - these will all improve over time if you don't miss payments. The 5th component, new credit, may be lowering your score when you open your first credit line, but this too will fade with time (as long as you don't quickly open additional credit lines).

How to find your credit score for free from trusted sources: 1) Check with your bank or credit union.

2) Request your score through these three companies only: Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax. 3) use Consumer Financial Protection Bureau links:

(Note that you may have slightly different FICO credit scores across different financial websites, this is normal.)

 Minimum credit score requirements for business loans

In today's economy, having access to capital is essential for the success of any business. Whether you are starting a new business or looking to expand an existing one, obtaining a loan is often necessary. However, the ability to obtain a loan is heavily dependent on your credit score. In this article, we will discuss the minimum credit score requirements for business loans. We will also discuss why credit score is important for obtaining a loan, and tips for improving your credit score.

What is a credit score?

A credit score is a numerical representation of a person or business's creditworthiness. It is calculated based on various factors such as payment history, credit utilisation, credit history, and types of credit used. Credit scores range from 300 to 850, with higher scores indicating better creditworthiness.

Why credit score is important for business loans

Lenders use credit scores to determine the likelihood of a borrower repaying a loan. A high credit score indicates that the borrower is responsible with credit and is likely to repay the loan on time. A low credit score, on the other hand, indicates that the borrower may be a higher risk and may have difficulty repaying the loan. To learn more about how to negotiate for business loans in India, here are some effective tips you must keep in mind.

Additionally, credit score also affects the terms and interest rates of a business loan. Borrowers with higher credit scores are more likely to receive favourable loan terms and lower interest rates. Conversely, borrowers with lower credit scores may be offered less favourable loan terms and higher interest rates.

Minimum credit score requirements for business loans

The minimum credit score requirements for business loans vary depending on the type of loan and lender. Here are some general guidelines:

SBA loan requirements

SBA 7(a) loans: Minimum credit score of 640

SBA 504 loans: Minimum credit score of 680

SBA microloans: Minimum credit score between 620-640

Traditional bank loan requirements

Minimum credit score of 640 for most small business loans

Minimum credit score of 680 for larger loans or lines of credit

Alternative lender loan requirements

Credit score requirements may vary by lender. However, there are chances that some alternative lenders may be more willing to work with borrowers with lower credit scores. Still, a minimum of 500 score is required to qualify the loan requirement.

Note- While these are the minimum credit score requirements, lenders may also consider other factors such as business revenue, time in business, and collateral when making lending decisions.

Improving your credit score

How To Get A Personal Loan At A Low-Interest Rate From MyLoanBazar

You can use personal loans to pay for almost any expense, from weddings and travel to home improvement projects. The interest rates are usually lower than credit cards, which makes them a great option for those who need cash quickly.

You can find the best personal loan rates by shopping around and comparing offers from different lenders. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll get the lowest rate available.

1. Instant Approval

Instant approval credit cards are a popular option for people who need a new line of credit quickly. Several major issuers offer these credit cards, including American Express, Bank of America, and Capital One.

However, it’s important to note that these credit cards may not be a good choice for everyone. They can have high-interest rates, or they may be designed only for cardholders with poor or limited credit history.

Fortunately, there are many alternatives to instant approval credit cards. For example, a quick search on Google will yield dozens of lending networks that connect borrowers with direct lenders. These services may provide you with same-day funding and a flexible repayment schedule.

Bad credit loans are also available from these services, so you can still receive the funds you need in a hurry. If you want to get approved for a loan with immediate approval, make sure to read the lender’s terms and conditions carefully and be prepared to meet all of your financial requirements before applying.

For the best experience, apply for a loan through a lending network that offers transparency with clear disclaimers. These disclaimers are typically located on the lender’s website and in your account. They state that they are not lenders or loan brokers but rather "middlemen," connecting borrowers with direct lenders.

A great lending network is MoneyMutual, which has been connecting borrowers to lenders for over a decade. They offer a simple, secure application process and have been successfully helping borrowers get approved for loans online.

PersonalLoans is another lending service that provides loans for bad credit instant approval. They have been helping borrowers get funded for over a decade, and they can typically approve your request within one business day.

2. No Documentation is Required

If you are looking for an instant personal loan with paperless documentation, look no further than My Loan Bazar. Our 'paper-free' personal loan process allows you to upload and submit documents online, from the comfort of your home.

This is a convenient option for people who are prone to forgetting important details or simply do not have the time to spare. It also means that you can avoid any last-minute delays in securing your financial needs.

It is important to keep in mind that although the 'paper-free' process is quick and easy, it does not mean that you won't have to pay any attention to the finer points of the application. Hence, it is always best to make sure that you provide all the required information before you apply for a loan.

For instance, you may need to enter details such as your credit card balance, salary, loan amount, and tenure to calculate a good estimate of your monthly EMIs. To help you out, we have a handy calculator that will provide you with an instant quote on your personal loan EMIs.

The calculator is designed to offer you an estimation based on your inputs and will even show you the amortization table for your selected loan. You can then make an informed decision about which lender is best suited for you.

To get the most out of your 'paper-free' personal loan, it is essential to know which lenders have the best offers and discounts. Some banks and NBFCs will offer you a lower interest rate as an existing customer, while others may reward you with an attractive deal during special occasions such as festivals.

3. No Processing Fee

There are many things that you can do to save money on a personal loan, but one of the most important is to choose a lender with no processing fee. Not only is this one of the cheapest ways to get a loan, but it also allows you to get the best interest rate available.

In the simplest terms, a personal loan is an advance on your existing assets, such as your home or your car. It can be used for a variety of purposes, such as to pay off your credit card bills, fund a vacation, or consolidate your debts into one simple monthly payment.

You can find this type of loan at virtually every bank, but you need to do your research to ensure that you’re getting the best deal on your cash. The best way to do this is to compare rates from several lenders, and then decide on which one will be the most affordable for you.

YES BANK makes it easy to get a low-cost, no-fuss personal loan. With its state-of-the-art online and mobile banking facilities, you can apply for a personal loan in minutes and get the funds you need when you need them the most. The process is as simple as logging on to your YES BANK account and clicking on the corresponding application link. This will allow you to provide the necessary information and upload your documents, which are then reviewed and verified before you are given the green light.

4. Flexible Interest Rates

A personal loan is a good option for borrowing money at a low-interest rate. It can be used for a variety of purposes, including paying for school, buying a car, or making home improvements. It also helps borrowers consolidate debt from multiple credit cards into one monthly payment.

The amount of a personal loan you borrow and its repayment term affect the interest rates you’ll pay, as does your credit score and other factors. The higher your credit score, the lower your interest rate likely will be.

Your income can also help determine the best personal loan for you. Salaried individuals typically get better interest rates than self-employed people. This is because they are considered less risky to lenders, due to their income certainty.

You can use a free online tool to estimate the total costs of your loan, based on its annual percentage rate (APR). This will allow you to compare how much you’ll pay for each loan and decide whether it fits within your budget.

Other factors that can influence your loan interest rate include your employer and the nature of your employment. For example, salaried applicants with a reputed organization may be offered a lower interest rate than those working for a small business or a startup.

You can also negotiate with a lender for a better deal. Many banks and NBFCs offer concessional interest rates to existing customers. For this reason, it is important to contact them and check their personal loan interest rates before making a decision.

5. Easy Repayment Schedule

A personal loan is a specialized type of credit that can help you get through short-term financial emergencies. They offer flexible interest rates, easy repayment schedules, and a low processing fee. But you’ll need to shop around for the best rate and terms.

The interest rate you pay on a personal loan is determined by several factors, including your credit score and whether you want a shorter or longer loan term. The lowest rates are usually for borrowers with excellent credit, such as scores above 720.

You can use a personal loan calculator to estimate your monthly payments and expected loan payoff date. It also lets you see how much you’ll owe at the end of the loan term, including interest.

This can help you determine how much of your income you can afford to put toward your monthly loan payment and whether you’ll be able to pay it off promptly. You’ll also be able to compare rates and fees from several lenders and determine the best deal for your situation.

Prepayment charges: Many banks charge a fee for paying off your loan early, but it’s worth it to save on interest for the remaining term. Nevertheless, you should only make partial or full prepayments when it will not negatively impact your credit rating.

Restructure your loan: You can restructure your loan to lower your interest rate, reschedule your EMI or even avail of a limited loan repayment holiday. You can do this if you’ve been making regular loan payments and were not overdue by more than 30 days as of 1st March 2020.

To find out if you’re eligible for a loan restructuring, visit your bank’s website or contact a customer service representative. You’ll also need to fill out a personal loan application form.

Spousal Debt In A Bankruptcy

Are spousal debts considered in a bankruptcy case?

Spousal debts are considered in a bankruptcy case. However, they can be excluded if the court decides that it would be impractical or cause the overall burden of the chance to grow too large.

All spousal debts are included in the bankruptcy proceedings and are discharged together with the debtor's other debts. If your spouse is being charged with any debt, it is included in the bankruptcy proceedings. There are some exceptions, though, such as medical debts incurred by the sick spouse before filing the petition and spousal support obligations required by a divorce decree or separation agreement.

Spousal Debts

When you file for bankruptcy, your debts are certainly not considered as a whole. Calculating your total debt is done separately but on an individual basis. Regarding spousal debt, what is considered is how much the debt was when it was incurred, where the debt was incurred, and whether or not the creditor has a security interest in your property. The simple answer: if the debt was incurred before marriage, it's yours; if the debt was incurred during the marriage and secured by property owned by either spouse, it's probably yours; otherwise, it's your spouse's problem to deal with.

What is a "spousal" debt? What makes a debt "spousal" is that it involves property that belongs to you and your spouse—the key word here being "belongs." In other words, if you took out a loan on your own and used only assets you had to pay off the loan—no joint assets were used—then the loan would be considered a non-spousal debt because nothing belonging to both of you was used in making the loan payment. Spousal debts are debts that both spouses share, which means they involve joint assets or liabilities.

[caleenbix]

so i want to start this off by saying i love the 2022 adaptation. i genuinely enjoyed some of the changes to the story, including ebenezer wanting to save tiny tim's life rather than his own. however, since it's a shorter adaptation on account of needing to cut things for music's sake (& just short overall), it cuts out some pretty crucial points that further round out why scrooge is actually not the best person.

i would also like to add the disclaimer that i mean all of this politely, and i just want to add some important context from the novella (like you questioned) that addresses these points. with that being said, everything's under the cut!

he may not be a charity, but it's important to remember that he is one of the wealthiest people in london at the time. in the majority of adaptations, the primary introduction to scrooge is him being asked to donate to a fund to help the poor. in scrooge (2022), he obviously brushes it off by insisting on the requirement of a permit. the book (and most other adaptations) has it play out differently. when he's asked for a donation to save the poor from the workhouses (known for terrible and often deadly working conditions), as they would rather die, he responds with probably one of the most well-known scrooge (& arguably, dickens) quotes: "“If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.”" yeah, really outstanding fella.

in terms of jenkins, or "the toy shop owner" — his mother fell extremely ill. doctors aren't cheap, especially in the 1800s. 25 pounds is also not a small loan. calculating equivalency, it equals out to roughly $1000 USD. scrooge gives him an extra two days and charges him another $1000 USD for it. that interest rate is basically 50% every day?? if i was in the shoes of jenkins, i'd probably dance on his coffin, too. it's relatively reasonable at that time to ask for more time on loans when tragedy strikes in a family.

bob cratchit is supposed to be what is known as a foil character to scrooge. meaning, he's basically supposed to act as an opposing side of the same coin so that scrooge's own character traits are highlighted. where scrooge is supposed to be overly greedy, cratchit is supposed to be exceedingly charitable, even if it means putting himself at risk. where scrooge is a man without much family to speak of besides for his nephew, cratchit has a large family (though typical for the time). he is supposed to be the over-the-top opposite to his employer.

while i can agree that having the amount of children he had didn't make his financial situation any easier, there's a couple factors to consider. for one thing, it's the 1800s. birth control didn't exactly exist — it did, but it was fairly ineffective practices (jumping up and down, sponges, etc.) and birth control options were largely restricted to the wealthy. two of the children are also a set of twins, which, again, couldn't be detected at the time. sure, the cratchits could have just been celibate after one child, but that's historically not what happened. also, why would he have to be? that's scraping the crust off of some fairly classist rhetoric that i don't particularly have the energy to talk about at the moment.

bob doesn't even blame scrooge! it's his wife who does, and given that she knows not only of his reputation in the city but also about how he treats bob (which beyond christmas, we aren't privy to, but we can assume it's poorly year-round), it's an honest reaction to have.

i think the issue i have most of all is in regard to isabel (especially since i am isabel defender #1). one of the key things highlighted in the novella is that isabel comes from a poor family and, because of this, has no dowry. thus, scrooge would have no money or property coming in from marrying isabel. his marriage to her was purely a love match, rather than one for status or financial purposes. while "later never comes" is a stunning song, it takes away from isabel's reasoning as to why she's leaving.

the novella has isabel come to ebenezer in mourning clothes, suggesting a family member of hers has died. if it's her father, she's in the absolute worst case scenario for a woman in the 1800s. as an unmarried woman, she has basically no rights, especially when it comes to property, and no source of income. marrying ebenezer would give her a house to live in as well as an income that could at least support her in terms of food, which she very well may lack at that point.

she famously argues that she has been displaced by a golden idol, or monetary wealth, in scrooge's heart. when he mentions that being afraid of poverty is natural, isabel points out that their "contract", or engagement, "is an old one" and that it was made when they were both poor "and content to be so". adaptations tend to vary when it comes to determining just how long their relationship has been going on, but most seem to settle on roughly a decade of being engaged (mickey's outright says it's been ten years, while the muppets adaptation suggests it has been that amount of time by the change in belle's clothing, from a 1790s style to a more 1800s/1810s style.

isabel sees scrooge as a changed man, one that would never look her way if they were not engaged at the time because of her lack of a dowry. she asks ebenezer to tell her she's wrong, but his response is...

"He seemed to yield to the justice of this supposition, in spite of himself. But he said with a struggle, “You think not.”"

he hesitates to say that he'd fall in love with her now. he can't even say it himself. he can't even deny it. she doesn't want to leave him, but she states that she "releases" him, because he has made it plain to her that she is of lesser value to him than wealth. he is not, at this point, without the means to marry her. it has been YEARS. they spend little time together; isabel even comments on this in the 2022 adaptation. break-ups very commonly occur when people put their work above their partners entirely. it makes sense that isabel, feeling unloved, would want to leave, and it's all the more upsetting when ebenezer doesn't even make an attempt to reaffirm his love for her.

the one other thing to note is that in the novella, when scrooge asks the ghost of christmas yet-to-come to see a joyous celebration (rather than his death), he is shown a couple celebrating his death. their debt obviously won't be cancelled, but they feel relief because it'd be incredibly bad luck to end up with another "merciless creditor" like scrooge. this refers back to the first point. it's not that he's running a moneylending business, he's the worst in the game. the last resort. one who is not known for treating anyone else like a human being.

a christmas carol isn't supposed to be a commentary on "oh, this guy hates christmas! he's terrible!" & i feel terribly sorry that that's the message people have been getting from this. it was written as dickens's response to the treatment of the poor in victorian england at the time. it's working against the economic theories of adam smith, the father of capitalism, who penned the "invisible hand" theory — the market distributes resources if everyone acts in THEIR OWN SELF-INTEREST. scrooge is an allegory for the ruling/upper class, and, more broadly, capitalism as a whole. dickens was a contemporary of darwin, whose "survival of the fittest" theory being applied to human beings (social darwinism) fueled capitalism further, alongside eugenics.

i love that the 2022 adaptation tried to make ebenezer more relatable for general audiences, but... apparently, it's come at a steep cost.

Ok I watched Netflix's Scrooge and somehow the story doesn't make me go oh, what a happy ending. I don't think Scrooge deserved all that?

He ain't a charity, he lends money. People know upfront they have to pay him back. It's business. I get it when they want a day or two but that bold toy shop mf that had the audacity to dance on his coffin?? He asks for an entire week. I bet many of them already got extra time.

Then his employee. Was it fair of Scrooge to charge so much for the ink? No, but that guy can't blame him for his boys demise. Like, he has child after child and struggles to take care of them all. Maybe don't have that many kids if you can't provide for them? I know these are different times but man, he even gives half of his earnings to charity instead of using it to buy food or medicine and then they blame Scrooge? What?

Man's lost his sister, his mentor and his true love during Christmas. Cut him some slack. He was trying to build a stable future for his wife, not wanting to be like his father who spend his money blindly, which resulted in Scrooges sister becoming fragile and ultimately dying. See, he thinks money solves it all and thus wants to be able to provide properly.

Painting him to be the bad guy for thinking like this after all that happened to him is not right. Maybe the book portraited it in a way that makes sense, but here it seems like they're guilttripping the poor man for being rightfully scarred by his experiences.
