In the last article we had seen about the loans and credit cards, in thisarticle we will see about how these EMI's are coughing up pur lives if not paid properly.
Life had become an
EMI
Let us see the number of loans available in our lifetime to
live an easy life,
- Education loan
- Personal Loan
- Credit card
- Home Loan
- Reverse Mortgage loan
For many EMI starts in their life with education loan, once
the education is completed it then turns to getting a job and closing out this
education loan. Life becomes a full circle once you get money in your hand and
the immediate joy would be to buy things which we have longed as a teenager and
start splashing money.
Now once the education loan is closed, thoughts move towards
taking a personal loan as the credit card EMI’s has become a huge hill from
being a mole as monthly expenditure had increased gradually. Now paying this
personal loan due will be a regular expenditure and once this is about to get
closed, marriage comes across and obviously the personal loan needs to be taken
to have an above average marriage among peers.
Now being a family once we start a new life, new home needs
new things and those EMI’s get added to monthly budget. Life gets moving all
these days, slowly with kids and with family and peer pressure we are forced to
buy a home. Absolutely this will also be above our buying capacity as we have
home loans to cater. This home loan will take around 20 years to close and we
never think about other luxuries until we close this. Now at the time of
closing we would have reached near our retirement life and have kids who had
grown reaching the college or finished their college.
Again no worries, we have reverse mortgage loan which is
easy to obtain to have the retirement life as easy as you have wished. Based on
the net worth of the home you can get a lumpsum or spread out across the years
as you wish, once your lifetime is over the lender will take over your home.
The only condition is that you need to maintain your home in good condition and
any changes should be informed to the lender in advance.
Now looking back in whichever stage you are now, it is easy
to completely live the life you had thought off in loans or financially stable
and luxurious life.
Risk of living this life with loans:
It is easy to live this kind of life as you have loans
available in each stage of life, but the only risk is that if there is any
medical emergency for yourself or your closed ones at any stage of life.
Further when you are living on loans you can thrive to go to next stage of
luxury by crawling, but when you are living a EMI free life, you can get things
which was an aspiration once and have vacations which you have never thought
off in your life.
Easy way to get rid of Loans
The only way to get a financial discipline in your life is
to, start a recurring deposit so that you are saving some amount every month,
once you have accumulated an emergency fund you can start planning to invest
via equity mutual funds,
Monthly investment of 1000 over a period of 5 years can give
you around one lakh which is difficult with any other type of investment. By
getting a loan, you would have ended up paying the same amount to any of the
lender as interest.
