Google: pay day loans Ogden, UT

Click on the map

How many pay day loan businesses in the area?

Click at the map Make sure to scroll down the left bar


So there’s lots of pay day loan businesses…so what?

Let’s look at this great deal…. $15 for a loan of $1000….not bad so far 390% interest rate? What does this mean?

Well, let’s say that you take this deal and borrow that $1000 at the killer deal of 390% (pun intended). Then let’s say that you, being the typical teenager who forgets to turn in his homework, also forget that you borrowed a thousand bucks. Oops. How much do you owe?


About $32,000


Even if you made all your payments, you’d end up spending $4,037.90


Well, you say, I will just avoid loan sharks.

But, I say, what about credit card debt….

Let’s say you find a REALLY cute pair of shoes. Only $250. You pay with plastic. How much do they really cost?

About $275 if you pay them off in a year.

Not bad, you say. But what if you paid for everything this way…

Can you afford an extra $25 or $4000 for everything you buy?


Please write one nice, thorough paragraph (with impeccable

grammar)

that applies the symbolism in

The Devil and Tom Walker to your future life.

Be specific with the symbolism.
