I agree with Deez Nutz. It's for people in an immediate bind.
However, I hope there is no situation in my life where I'm in a bind to the point where I have to rent furniture.

I've never met anyone who was over the age of 25 and debt free who was worried about their lack of debt.

I guess, but you don't find yourself in one of those places unless you've made some poor decisions leading up to that point.

Very true, thankfully, I haven't, but in my younger days this service may have been helpful.
To get into a slippery slope with these guys is pretty much the lowest rung on the ladder.

It's a vicious cycle. I can imagine an emergency situation, but if you're a fiscally sound person, there are probably a million different avenues you could pursue.

Predatory lending at its best.

I would bet that more than 75% of people who use a payday lender eventually file for bankruptcy.

Micjones had a thread a couple of years back about a friend of his who got screwed by one of these places. I think it was a title loan deal. It was a pretty interesting thread.

When I come on here and see people preach about living only on cash and insulting others who don't/can't I think of one client who sounded just like you. After years of railing against credit card use/borrowing on credit and assailing those who do, he ended up filing bankruptcy.

Then the guy was a hypocrite. His advice was sound, but he didn't follow it. If you don't borrow money, you don't go bankrupt. It's pretty simple.

I suppose that you could do something that caused you to have an enormous judgment awarded against you, but that's like saying that it's a good idea to play the lottery because 1 out of 50,000,000 win.

Please be careful with your assumptions, because all it is doing is making you look the fool.

I'll break my intended silence to just tell you this is a losing battle. R8ers is convinced that all credit is evil and that those of us who are making better money by using good debt to let us make more money elsewhere all idiots. He seems to think that racking up credit card debt is the same as taking out a home loan. Don't waste too much brainpower on it.

I can't tell if you are intentionally speaking in riddles or if you just have very poor sentence structure. I have to re-read all of your posts, and I still can't figure out what you mean half the time.

I won't speak for him, but I don't think that all debt is evil. I would say that 90+% of people would be best served not to borrow money for anything beyond a mortgage. Some people are able to use leverage to their advantage in the long run. Significantly more people THINK they can only to learn the hard way.

Maybe a bad investment....a car accident that is your fault, with injuries to others that your insurance won't cover....your spouse/child has a major life threatening illness....your spouse child is a special needs child that isn't covered in any great depth by insurance.

I've seen people with lot's of assets be rich one day and crying the next.

What's your point? Should I just weigh 500 pounds because healthy people die every day?

You can't protect yourself 100%, but you can sure sway the odds in your favor.

It's not my sentence structure, but your complete lack of comprehension skill sets that prevent you from understanding.

I wasn't trying to be insulting. It was just an honest observation. If it's my lack of comprehension skills that make posts like these seem like gibberish, my bad.

Most people who hand out financial advice need to follow it themselves.

I still don't see the point. If r8ers really has $50,000 of unsecured debt, his advice is still sound.
