5) Summary: Five Ways a Personal Loan Can Save You Money

Name: Brian O'Connell MatchFinancial.com

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-blj1@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: MatchFinancial.com

Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 25 November

Query:

Conventional wisdom has it that while loans are a successful
financial tool, they don't cut your overall household debt,
loans add to that debt.

New thinking, however, touts the ability of personal loans to
not only solve quick money problems, but save borrowers money,
too.

For example, elimination of high credit card interest, paying
off financial emergencies that might have crippled the household
budget, or simply allowing borrowers to pay down debt and boost
their credit scores all are a form of saved money - we're
looking for examples like that and more.

1. What ways can personal loans save money and how do they do
so? Examples, please.

2. How can borrowers get creative with personal loans to cut
debt and save money?

3. what's your opinion of personal loans? Help or hindrance to
financial consumers?

Thanks in advance.

Requirements:

Credit experts, personal loan experts, lending experts, money
experts, debt management experts, people who have used personal
loans to cut debt (how did you do it?)

2. What are the pros and cons of taking out a mortgage refinance
loan?

3. What are the pros and cons of bypassing a home refinancing
loan and focusing on paying down the existing mortgage?

4. Where do you land on the issue - take out that mortgage
refinancing loan or. bypassing the loan and keep paying down the
existing mortgage?

All comments welcome. Tight deadline - need to hear back by
Tuesday at 12 noon EST, if possible.

Requirements:

Mortgage experts, money experts, budget experts, mortgage
lenders, realtors, brokers, money managers, people who have
