What I like best is their reliability and quality.” “I can trust them!” Dr. Evan Reasor Flue Season 527 3331 THE Chimney Professionals Local Calendar A loan shark you can love Can you imagine being eager to pay outrageous amounts of interest, gladly making monthly payments on loans and advances to a finance company? Would you like to love a loan shark? All you have to do is become your own banker or private credit union. You'll be borrowing from yourself, making payments to yourself and collect- ing high (possibly even illegal, if you like) rates of interest -- all for you. The original idea of the credit union was to get the little person out of the clutches of the big money institutions. This idea simplifies the credit union strate- gy back down to just one person, you. The difference is that you'll be taking that 18 percent interest (or whatever outrageous rate you've been accustomed to pay- ing to some richer-than-rich enti- ty). What a savings program! Here's how to get started with this obscene idea: First, open a special savings account. Don't get this confused with your regular savings or investment programs. Feed your new special savings account with a weekly contribu- tion for a while. If you can put in $20 a week for a year, in 12 months your balance will be about $1,000 with interest. Let's say you need to bor- row $600. A typical credit card or finance company would charge you a whopping 21 per- cent interest rate, or $126, to borrow that amount. The company would "let" you pay it back at the rate of about $30 a month for two years. You could be easier on yourself. If you charge 18 percent inter- est on your loan ($108) and divide it into 12 equal payments of $59, your loan will be paid off in just one year. And the greedy finance company will be you. Mary Hunt make monthly payments of $50 for two years (or $100 a month for one year), you'll wind up with well over $3,000. Treat you-the-borrow- er just as the finance company would. Demand timely payment. Call yourself and try out your best harassment methods. Establish horrendous penalties for late pay- ments. Unless you're ter- ribly hard on yourself, it's not going to work. If you don't watch yourself, you're going to have a Everyday Cheapskate At the end of that year (your second as a private credit union), you'll have $2,300, including the regular $20 weekly contributions and the interest the bank has paid you. Maybe you need to borrow $1,000 from your loving loan shark. A finance company would charge you about $255 to do that. If you charge yourself $180 and default (and just imagine how that would look on your record). But if you do watch it, you'll be living the life of a banker -- buying things you want and piling up the dollars.
