The short loan system can get you our of trouble in a thousand ways
I had a good month in July, which simply means that I came out on the money I had made. However, I had an uneasy feeling that all was not well and on Friday morning confirmation arrived. One of my children called and said, “It’s Mom’s birthday on Saturday! How are we celebrating?”
A birthday celebration
I made a quick call around to children and grandchildren to find out if they were available for dinner on Saturday evening and then called a restaurant. “Sorry, we’re booked out!” apologized the first. The second said they do not take reservations and the third couldn’t understand me. I finally booked at what was advertised as a new family restaurant. Another couple of phone calls and the party was in place.
The restaurant
The restaurant was pleasant and the waiter friendly. We were a party of twelve, six adults and six children, excited, noisy and difficult to keep in line. The shock came when we opened out menus and saw the prices of the dishes. I had already decided that I would pay for everyone and would not take money from my children for my wife’s birthday party. I gulped when I realized what the bill was likely to be.
The food
The food was simply excellent. Most of the adults passed on the very expensive steaks and other dishes and settled for the expensive hamburgers as did some of the children. The men ordered beers and the others various sodas. We ate with gusto and enjoyed every crumb. After the main course the waiter arrived at the table carrying a small Crème brûlée with a single candle in the center. We all sang happy birthday. My wife had to wipe her eyes more than once and all in all it was great celebration and a great evening. I paid the large bill with my credit card and we all went home happy.
The Payday Loan
This morning is Sunday and I was at my computer first thing. I logged into my old savior site www.advanceloan.net and in the space of minutes I organized one of their fast payday loans to cover this non-routine item before the credit card bill arrives. I had a moment of panic sitting in the restaurant last night when I did a mental estimate of the bill and then almost immediately relaxed when I realized that this is exactly the type of situation that Advance Loans would cover with ease.
Not my first loan
I have almost a standing arrangement with Advance Loans. April is the anniversary of my car. I do not celebrate this as a birthday party but it has financial implications. It means that every April I have to find cash for the license fee and the 2 kinds of insurance, statutory and comprehensive. I never have that kind of money lying about and that’s when I call Advance Loans for help.
