    Not borrowing money is a good way to avoid them.
    I don't think that this answer is what the OP was looking for. Just guessing, you understand.
    I was watching a pawn show the other night and the rate of interest seemed to be about 6% per month, so 72% p.a.

    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Sorry, was a scorcher of a gag though.

    No, not a typo. But, yes, it was a slight attempt at humour.
    Actually, the show I was watching was about a chap who started an on-line pawnshop. It is called Borro I think.
    The other pawn program is about an American pawn shop. They never show anyone actually pawning anything, just those who want to sell their items.
