Don’t Be a Sucker, Don’t Pay Into Usury. Be Sucker Free.
Usury is the practice of having or charging notoriously high interest, costs and fees attached to borrowing money. Federal and local governments try to protect consumers from the worst of the worst when it comes to such practices, but it’s usually after whatever company has already made a really good run and ripped off many people along the way. In the most conspicuous ways it can be seen in credit card rates, car loan rates, housing loan rates, (sure you’ve heard enough about the housing crisis to feel like an expert on the subject) and short term loans. Short term loans and fast cash payday loans probably being the most economically damaging of the bunch. Still, there’s the hidden usurious tactics, yes hidden, such as the 22% fee on money transfers and so on. Then there’s interest and fees on money that already belongs to you, instead of gaining or receiving interest, secondary financial companies are charging you for your own money. I know, crAzy RiGht? What kind of Sucker pays to get his or her own money. Be “Sucker Free”, don’t work for your money and then pay for your own money.
