Some people are saying that there is a good result from the credit crunch because it's bringing home the realisation that the fast loan culture has got out of hand and can't continue.
That's probably very harsh as at present many people are in financial difficulties as a result of the knock on impact of the credit crunch, the downturn in business and the loss of their jobs.
Unfortunately too much money has been spent on items that weren't really needed. Items haven't needed to be replaced but 'we fancied a change'. Too many luxury items bought with borrowed money and fast loans. A false impression given of individual income when the money has been obtained through refinancing the home.
Unfortunately though, the banks or credit card companies expect you to repay any money you've borrowed!
People have depended on a continuing increase in house prices and this has made people to re-mortgage with fast loans so they can buy luxuries they couldn't afford otherwise. We've got confused about what we need and what we just want...
So, what are we left with after the explosion of the fast and loan culture when it has become apparent that many people are struggling to manage their finances?
The awful situation is now that we have many people losing their jobs and homes. We have businesses that have been profitable now going out of business because the banks are refusing to finance new investment and in some cases calling in already agreed loans...
Banks have changed direction completely. For years they have been pushing fast loans on to people with daily loan and credit card offers being posted through your letter box. They were desperate to lend you money and fast loans were so easy and, well, fast to get...
As a result many people face a hard time for a while. There will be anxiety, worry and sleepless nights without much that's positive to look forward to.
As things get sorted out in the long term the present pain may lead to people taking a more responsible attitude towards their spending. It will be realised that you can't have all that you want just by handing over your card or taking out a loan. Saving for things may come back into vogue, and you won't rush to replace things just because you fancy a change...
Maybe then, it can be said that the fast loan way of life has caused a great deal of damage, but if lessons are learned then the future could be brighter. - 41115
