Responsible Borrowing Tips

Make informed decisions about your financial health

1

Assess Your Need

Before borrowing, ask yourself if it's truly necessary. Consider alternatives like savings, payment plans with vendors, or help from family.

2

Borrow Only What You Need

Just because you qualify for a larger amount doesn't mean you should take it. Borrow the minimum amount required for your situation.

3

Understand the Total Cost

Look beyond the monthly payment. Calculate the total amount you'll repay including all interest and fees over the life of the loan.

4

Budget for Repayment

Make sure you can comfortably afford the monthly payments alongside your other financial obligations before accepting a loan.

5

Read Everything Carefully

Don't skip the fine print. Understand all terms, conditions, and your rights before signing any loan agreement.

6

Have a Repayment Plan

Set up automatic payments if possible, and have a plan for how you'll make payments on time every month.

Protect Yourself

Know the warning signs of predatory lending

Signs of Predatory Lending

  • Pressure to act quickly without time to review terms
  • Fees that aren't clearly disclosed upfront
  • Interest rates significantly above market averages
  • Requests for upfront payment before receiving loan
  • Lenders who don't verify your ability to repay
  • Complicated terms designed to confuse borrowers
  • Prepayment penalties that trap you in the loan
  • Encouragement to borrow more than you need

If you encounter any of these warning signs, stop and seek advice from a trusted financial advisor or your state's consumer protection office.
