Alternative Ways to Borrow Money

    Life is expensive, and borrowing money is something almost everyone will do at one time or another. Tens of millions of Americans borrow money in any given year, for things like buying a home, getting a vehicle or simply paying for emergencies or large purchases.

    However, not everyone is able to qualify for the standard loans that most people will use. This could be because of bad credit or due to an entirely different reason. Thankfully, there are other ways you can get the financial boost you need. With that in mind, this blog post is going to look at a few alternative ways to borrow money.

    Vehicle Title Loans

    A vehicle title loan is when you essentially use your car title as a guarantee on the money you borrow. This gains you access to the funding you need and protects the lender in the case of a default. Best of all, you still get to keep your car and drive it!

    Because your vehicle’s title is used as collateral for the loan, interest rates are generally a little lower. This collateral will also help more individuals be able to qualify, as the loan carries less risk for the lender when it is secured. If you are currently wondering, “how do title loans work?”, there are several online resources that can help you understand them and make sure they’re the right choice for you.

    Of course, in order for this to work, your car needs to have some value and you need to own it. It is important to be careful with title loans as, if you miss payments or default, the lender will be able to keep the title and seize your car if they so choose.

    A Cash Advance From Credit Card

    If you need cash quickly, and cannot get a standard loan, another option to consider is getting a cash advance from a credit card. This involves using your credit card or line of credit to get cash. These can generally get you the cash you need quickly, but the interest rates will be higher than if you were to just use your credit card.

    While simply using your credit card normally could be cheaper, simpler and easier, that isn’t always an option. Some businesses or transactions will only take cash, so your credit card won’t help you much. The amount you will be able to get in a cash advance will generally depend on where your credit limit is currently set at.

    Ask Your Friends or Family

    While this isn’t always easy to do, sometimes the best method to get the money you need is to swallow your pride and ask your friends or family members for help. Depending on your situation and relationship, there is a good chance a loved one will be able to help you out. Not only that, but they will likely charge you no interest or significantly less than a bank or other lender would.

    Of course, if you borrow from a loved one, be sure that you are able to pay it back. You don’t want to take advantage of their kindness. Only borrow what you are sure you can pay back and know that it’s not worth losing a relationship over a bit of money. It can be tough to ask, but most family members would rather help you out themselves than see you continue to struggle.

    In conclusion, there are several different ways to borrow money if you are unable to be approved for a standard personal loan. These are far from the only options available, but they are some of the best.
