Fast personal loans in Melbourne

Living in Melbourne comes with its perks. Consistently ranked one of the most liveable cities in the world, Melbournians enjoy a high standard of living, with a vibrant arts and culture scene and excellent public transport system.

However, living in Melbourne also has some downsides, most notably the cost of living. Housing is increasingly expensive in Melbourne and did you know that the cost of groceries is 24.2% higher than in London, famously one of the most expensive cities in the world!

A cold pint of beer in Melbourne will set you back more than $13 and even a bottle of water is the best part of a fiver. It’s no surprise then that eating out in Melbourne will cost 8.5% more than in Sydney. Plus, that mobile phone monthly plan you just purchased is one of the most expensive in Australia. (source)

Sometimes it feels like you need to take out a small personal loan just to make ends meet. If you’re thinking that, you’re not alone.

Consider your situation before you apply for a short term loan

Before you apply for a cash loan in Melbourne, consider these important points to make sure it’s the best decision for you.

  • Assess your financial situation: Consider your current financial situation to determine whether you need a loan. Do you have a regular income that you can use to repay the loan? Could you sell some things you don’t need to save up the money? Consider if there are alternatives available to you, such as seeking financial assistance or negotiating with creditors.
  • Understand the costs of borrowing: Loans include interest rates and fees, so before you apply make sure you understand what the total cost of the loan will be. Compare costs to ensure that a fast loan is the right financial product for you.
  • Know your rights and responsibilities: Review the terms and conditions of the loan contract so you fully understand all aspects of the agreement. Make sure you are clear on the payment terms, interest rate and fees before signing the loan contract.
  • Borrow responsibly: By researching and choosing a responsible lender, you can be confident that the lender will base their loan decision on your particular circumstances. This means you won’t end up borrowing more than you can afford.
  • Create a budget: A budget can help you to stay on track with bills and loan repayments, as well as helping you to save a little at a time to build up an emergency fund for unexpected expenses.
  • Seek financial advice: If you find you need to borrow money often, consider seeking financial counselling from a non-profit credit counselling service. This can help you develop a plan to improve your financial situation. One free service is the National Debt Hotline on 1800 007 007.
