In reply to the discussion: I need money somewhat fast... what to do? [View all]yallerdawg
(16,104 posts)61. Are payday loans the last thing you should do?
Yes.
That's what I am talking about.
I'm assuming - as I said earlier - that this OP was referencing the end of the rope. I am merely pointing out that if you have a job, you are gainfully employed, there is one more option.
Payday loans don't make you a shameful idiot.
You know, that is another stigma the working poor go through - being lectured as if they are just ignorant and all they need to do is "save money," get a low APR credit card, give up luxuries like "coffee" - "being smart."
Much appreciated.

It's not 300% if you pay it back in a couple weeks (which would be required).
