Out of the payday loan cycle!

Glad to say I used my work bonus to clear my payday loan and get me out of the cycle. I will never go back to payday lending again!

Feels good! :beer:

    At one point I had 6 PDLs on the go *faints*!

    Please everyone, try to not even take one out!

    Bravo HBS, good work! What a bonus indeed! And what a brilliant way to use it.

    I read something on MSE about the fact that the interest on a PDL will cost more in a month than a credit card in a year.

    Honestly want them all to go back from the dark hole they sprang from. Never had one but my heart goes out to anyone who thought it would be helpful and found themselves on the hellish roundabout.
    Some times you have to hold back to go forward to where you want to be.

    Like a catapolt!
