Personal Loans

We are not a huge fan of debt, having eliminated all but our revolving (and always paid on time and in full) credit card debt by age 40.

We tend to think of debt as a necessary evil for most Americans, although for most purchases, it’s not necessary, and it’s really not evil, either. An investor can be compensated for some risk by investing in debt instruments, and the debtor can have things and reach goals more quickly with the use of debt. If you are going to get a personal loan, please use one of these recommended companies.

(We do have a referral relationship with the companies listed on this page; if you work with them, this site may be compensated, contributing to our charitable mission.)
