Money is not backed by gold anymore. But money is still a weighty matter. If you have it ,no problem, if you don't it can be trouble. Quick cash can be tricky. Don't underestimate life's powers of unpredictability, and to how easy it is to end up cash shy. Options for relief have varying pro's and con's. If the situation allows, a direct cash advance from the boss is often a first option. Borrowing from friends and family next. Loaning from strangers would be third, in the form of banks or payday loan providers. And finally there is the rest of the credit options possibly available i.e credit card and unsecured personal loans.
The cash advance from work takes first spot due to the lack of interest fee's. But this financing option has limited availability as most bosses and or companies usually give cash advances out on a limited and emergency bases.
Borrowing from family and friends also can be interest free, but not always so. Family can be an unwanted addition to a troublesome time. Pride issues or I told you so"s can also be an element when dealing with people close to you.
If your credit is intact and the work cash advance is out of the question and family is not a option, your banking establishment has the next level of of loaning. Interest rates are present but industry standard and regulated. So over-drafts and letters of credit if possible might stave off emergencies but in pressing matters might push the time limit of the necessity.
Payday loan providers like http://paydayloanoz.com are willing to lend on your next paycheck. With a simple proof of employment and direct deposit, usually in a day you can get a few hundred dollars in hand or sent to your bank. This type of relief usually has no credit check or effect to your credit rating. The fee's are a little more than your banking solutions due to the short term and high risk loaning environment, but still are better than the remaining credit options.
This leaves credit cards, while convenient, still have hidden charges and carry over interest that makes it actually the most expensive and least financially sound solution to a short term cash shortage.
