Spent: Looking for Change is a documentary about normal Americans who do not have bank accounts or do not have access to traditional financial services. Instead the people in the documentary would rely on cash and checks and would also go to alternative financial services, like check cashers where they could get their money right away, pawn shops, money order services and payday lenders. Both the money order services and payday lenders sound like a great option to get money in advance or on loan but by the time they could pay off their loans from their savings the cost of the loan had exceeded in cost and it was too high of an amount for them to pay.…

Financial decisions are extremely critical to social welfare. Many individuals have the state of mind that emphasizes the belief of how social welfare can be pursued through exercising one’s choice and making provisions to obtain the means to be financially stable. The world is increasingly becoming more financially integrated and complex, pushing average individuals and their families to make highly difficult, often irreversible financial decisions. Decision making in regards to every day financial decisions is just as important as deciding what retirement plans will be necessary, considering there might not be social security by the time some of us get of age. With the recession that the economy has endured in the last few years, the global financial crisis has displayed that poor financial decision-making can have significant costs for both individuals but also the overall society. The state of someone’s financial welfare ultimately determines their socioeconomic status in this world; therefore people should strive to be successful to reach their ultimate goals and learn to responsibly manage their finances.…
Predatory lending has caused many conflicts in the American society. Victims who fall for predatory lending are usually low income homeowners or those having financial difficulties. Consumers do not realize that mortgage payments are impossible until 3-4 years after predatory lending. This imposes a significant role in the destruction of the American dream. Constance M. Ruzich, a teacher at Robert Morris University in Pittsburgh, and A. J. Grant, also a teacher at RMU, state in their essay, “Subprime mortgages are home loans made at higher rates of interest to burrowers who represent higher credit risks and have lower credit scores.” People with subprime mortgages have a difficult time paying their taxes. Predatory lending, or subprime mortgages, has significantly taken part in the downfall of the economy. Ruzich and Grant say, “Ten years ago, few Americans had heard of subprime mortgages or predatory lending, but by 2008, a survey of economists had identified the effects of the mortgage crisis as the number one threat to the U.S. economy, greater than that of terrorism or conflict in the Middle East.” This statement shows how these lendings have affected the economy at a reasonably rapid rate. The economy of the United States has crumbled at a very accelerated rate like a house on fire. It is no longer what it used to be and in only getting…
Throughout this past summer, I have become a huge fan of Dave’s show. He has really helped open my eyes like the video to how much of a problem debt is in our country. The biggest takeaway from his show and the video is to not live beyond one’s means. For example, there was a caller a while back who had leased one of their pets. While pets are an enjoyable part of our lives, nobody in their right mind should have a pet if they cannot afford to pay in cash. It is stories like these that show why this country is having such a challenging time with their finances, and continue to fall further into the pit of debt. I am more self-aware of my finances because of this video, and think that I should create a firm budget so I do not spend money on things that I cannot afford, or simply do not need. Some individuals get so far in debt that they constantly are paying interest, and not even making an impact on the lump sum of their loan. If Americans had the mindset to think about what they are buying and to make a budget, I think that debt will become a smaller concern not only for individuals, by for the country as a…
What is the one problem that nearly eight in ten Americans are looking to solve? For some, it may include losing weight and for others it might be living with the results of our recent election, however, a big huge problem many are looking to settle is overwhelming debt and obtaining financial security. Now, there is there no special hidden secret to solving this problem, but there is one guy known for his special work in this such topic. His name is Ramsey, Dave Ramsey, and who better to help you with money situations and debt than a man who has gone through it all himself. Some may not know it, but Ramsey actually started from nothing, gained something, but then sadly, lost everything. Since then, however, he has been nothing but successful…
People borrow things and money especially, when they are in need. But this need is caused in most of the cases by person's laziness and foolishness. If the individual is ambitious and clever enough, he will never sink in the mud puddle of need. If he is smart enough to limit him and determine his needs to his abilities. Even if you borrow with a good will in mind, an idea, what guarantees that you will be able to return what had been lent to you? Then you will have to borrow again, and again, and...Except if you take your life in your hands and manage with the situation by yourself, doing what is necessary. But now appears the question - if you are able to earn and do things without any help, why did you have to borrow before? The answer is simple - people don't like to work, don't like to give any of their energy, and because of this laziness, they pay it double after definite time. It is the same with the homework I was 'too tired' to write...and on the other day I had to write it ten times plus the homework given for the new day. Borrowing makes our lives unfortunate, but we are the one who borrow, so we face problem…
Debt Bondage – This refers to a situation where a person is forced to repay a loan with labour instead of money. Debt bondage occurs where the proper value of the labour is not applied towards repayment of the debt, or the type or duration of services are not properly limited. In many cases, the person may be deceived into paying extremely high rates of interest making it impossible to repay the debt.…
