Comments on Sword Point Saturday - Advertising and a New 90 Day Challenge

1. Payday loans are one of the biggest reasons that people who are already bad at handling their money end up in debt so far over their heads that there is no way to get out. If you think credit cards and their interest rates are bad, well, the payday loan sharks make the credit cards look like generous fairy godmothers. Payday loans exploit the poor in the worst possible way. They are evil.

2. It would dilute your message about getting out of debt. Does it really make sense, while you are trying to teach people the dangers of debt and the stupidity of paying interest, to offer them through your own blog a means of incurring even more debt and having to pay outrageous interest rates that make the credit cards look like pikers? I don't think so! It's my opinion that allowing a payday loan shark to advertise on your blog would destroy your credibility. It would be like Dave Ramsey allowing Visa to use his name on one of their cards.

And that's my ten cents' worth. (See, even speech suffers from inflation!)
