A simple interest loan assesses fees based only on a flat percentage. The principal amount is multiplied by an interest rate, and the resulting sum is the only interest charged on the loan. This amount is divided among the payment terms. A borrower will pay a portion of the principal and a flat interest fee each month or payment term. When the loan is paid off, the principal and interest are completely returned to the borrower. There is no compounding of interest, and there is no ballooning of fees. A simple interest loan is usually the most affordable option.

The Federal Reserve reports that American consumers have boosted their debt for the second consecutive month as of November. The good news is that this debt includes student loans and installment loans such as vehicle financing. Credit card debt levels continue to fall as consumers fearing uncertain economic conditions and unemployment continue to pull back on discretionary spending.
Debt: The Good and the Bad
When it comes to debt, it may seem that no debt is good debt, but financial experts frequently suggest that debt including a home mortgage and student loans can be considered “good debt,” or worthwhile investments. Debt including credit card balances and discretionary purchases of expensive vehicles (which quickly depreciate in value) and other non-essential goods are considered “bad debt” due to the costs associated with carrying balances. Think about it; if you’re carrying balances for expensive nights out, theater tickets, and buying the latest fashions on credit, you’ll be paying off credit card debt after the meals and performances were enjoyed and the latest fashions have become yesterday’s news.

Rational Financial Behavior
We all like to think that we’re rational human beings. That our decisions are based on facts and logic. After all, that’s what intelligent people do. At least that’s what we think they do.
It turns out that there’s a pretty healthy controversy about that. For years, economists at the Univ. of Chicago have promoted the view that people consider all the relevant facts and then make decisions based on what serves them best. They’ve even reduced many decisions to mathematical formulas.
Other economists say that humans can’t possibly include all the relevant information in their decisions. There’s just too much data for any person to rationally evaluate.
I think that both schools may be partially right. Let me relate a recent personal shopping experience to illustrate. I was in the market for a TV. Spent part of an afternoon researching the different models and pricing available. Used both newspaper ads and online tools. Then I headed out to two local retailers to see what I could find.

The decision to choose between debt consolidation and bankruptcy arises if you have reached at a point where you simply can not keep up the payments regularly then you might have to consider either debt consolidation or bankruptcy as a debt solution.
Without having enough knowledge about each, it seems both are easy and effective to get rid of debt problems. Although both debt consolidation and bankruptcy has their own advantageous and disadvantageous, debt consolidation seems to be a better route when compared to bankruptcy because as most of the people think bankruptcy is the end of debt problems which is not the case.
