Personal Loan

Here’s how you can save money by taking a Personal Loan

Summary: Leveraging a personal loan can help save money. You can use it to consolidate debt, make a big expense, and increase your credit score.

16 Mar 2023 by Team FinFIRST

Leveraging a personal loan can help save money. Sounds incredible, right? But it is absolutely true. Personal loans are a great financial tool that are offered at competitive interest rates, which makes them cheaper than other types of loans. Here are some smart choices you can make by using a personal loan to save money.

How personal loans can help you save money
 

1. Consolidate debt
 

One of the smartest reasons to leverage a personal loan is to consolidate your debt, especially credit card debt. Credit cards levy a very high interest rate, and once you are sucked in to it, it is a vicious cycle. Personal loans offer a simple way out of such debt. You can obtain a low interest personal loan and use it to pay off high interest debt. This will help you pay off your loan faster, as well as save money in the process. Moreover, you can also combine different debts into a single personal loan. This makes it easier to pay off debt and allows you to stay on top of your expenses.

2. Fund a big-ticket expense
 

When most people want to make a big expense such buy a widescreen TV or go on a dream vacation, they normally use their credit card to pay for the same. Then, if repayment looks difficult, they convert the expenditure into EMIs. In such a scenario, a personal loan is a lot more viable than a credit card. A personal loan is a lot less expensive as you can get the loan at low interest rates. This means you end up paying a lot less overall and save money. The best part about a personal loan is that there is no restriction on what it can be used for – vacation, home repairs, medical expenditure, or shopping!

 

 

3. Increase your credit score
 

A personal loan can play a big role in boosting your credit score and also save money! If you max out your credit card every month, it will increase your credit utilisation ratio. This will put you in the lender’s book as a high-risk individual, and you will be charged a higher interest when you borrow money in the future. By using a personal loan to pay off your credit cards, you can improve your credit score. This, coupled with a good repayment history, allows you to demand a more competitive interest rate on your borrowings and helps save money.
