There are more people living from paycheck to paycheck than you probably realize. The average person makes less than $25,000 a year. If they have medical insurance, then this cost can easily eat through almost half of their take home pay. Many people cannot afford to take out healthcare insurance and are definitely not prepared for any unexpected circumstance that requires a large amount of cash. Payday loans have become the short term fix for many lower income individuals, but is this really the solution to the problem or is it just creating more problems for the person who turns to a cash advance company?

Here is how payday loans work. You receive cash until payday for whatever reason you deem necessary. You, in exchange, promise to pay the money back on your next payday. You have to bring in a current paycheck stub, most recent bank statement and an ID. All of this comes with a major price tag. You are looking at a twenty percent interest rate that may not seem like that much, but when you factor in how quickly it accrues and when you must pay it back, you will be shocked.

Most people cannot payback the loan in one lump sum. The loan services allow them to bring in the money plus the interest and then withdraw the same initial amount of the loan back out again. Two weeks or a month later, you are back to paying the interest and taking the loan out again. Places such as Cash Advance America know that the people who use their service have limited funds, yet they charge ridiculous interest rates. The more you go in and use their loan services, the more money you are putting into their pockets.

Providing cash until payday is a great concept and would work fantastically if people truly used them as they were designed. The problem is that using the service is too tempting. Payday loans are meant to be short term solutions to financial problems. However, if you keep using them, you are tossing away your money that could have been used as savings in case of a future emergency. If you take out more loans, before you know it your hole is a lot deeper than before and your wallet is empty too.
