Three Interesting $5,000 Signature Loan Scenarios
The winters in my state are especially heavy, and if it snows too much for too long, your roof can fall victim and either cave in or at least suffer serious damage. People whose roofs can't stand the pressure may end up needing expensive repairs - and expensive repairs may mean seeking a quick $5,000 loan.
Just think of the alternative - leaving the roof unrepaired and letting all that cold air and snow flow into the house? I don't think anybody would be in favor of that idea. So if you don't have the cash on hand and you don't want a big snow drift in your living room, you'll need to find someone who will lend you the money to get it fixed.
Here's another possible scenario - it might already be late January and you're in charge of your local Super Bowl party. You've got the right food, the right furniture arrangement - but one thing is missing - the huge high def TV that will let all forty people who are going to be sitting in your living room enjoy the game.
No - you can't. And in this kind of emergency the only real option for making sure your neighborhood reputation stays intact is to get some kind of short term loan and buy the kind of TV that will make your friends proud.
Now it's clear that neither of those situations are going to mean life or death for your family. But there are a myriad of other problems that could occur in your life. It could be the middle of summer when a close family member or friend suddenly passes away and you have to purchase last minute airfare to comfort the family of the deceased.
Those plane tickets are going to cost an arm and a leg - unless you get a bereavement ticket - which you probably won't. You could be staring down the barrel of $1,000 to $3,000 in airfare depending on the size of your family. In these economic times, most people don't have that kind of money sitting in their checking account.
I don't like the idea of anyone having to go into debt for any of these scenarios, especially the one where you're borrowing a bunch of money to buy electronics you don't need for a part that's going to last less than four hours.
But the fact is you may have to borrow money under less than ideal circumstances and when that time comes, you need to know your options. Signature loans are probably the only way out if you don't have any cash laying around or room on your credit cards. Just make sure you're smart enough to set up and immediate repayment plan, and your long term goals should be relatively unaffected.
