Purelife.......you're using 6 years instead of 4 years in the calcs

purelife

Gawd, 30% and 23%...freaking HIGH for an interest rate!

That's what I thought.  Credit cards are at 20%.  Geeshus, I'm going to find out how in the heck did this guy quote me that!  

  ADD:  Thanks and blesses to you all. :)

 you're better off at a credit union for personal loans if your company has one

How about a loan from the Bank of Mom and Dad? They don't charge percentages. Usually.

Hi Purelife,

I'll throw in my 2 cents worth. Anytime someone quotes you a rate, make sure it is qouted as an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) not monthly.

A CA I know won't take out a loan. He swears it better to get a line of credit and use that as needed. It is cheaper than a loan if you put as much money back on it as soon as possible, even if it is only monthly because they only charge you interest on what is outstanding.

Cheers ad good luck.

I was going to make you a low interest loan 'til I saw your morning comment re. dating

 Will the Bank of Mom & Dad cosign a Line of Credit?  
 
 Mine is currently at 8.75% (TD Canada Trust- unsecured LOC).  It's a personal LOC that we use for business because the banks don't willingly fork over small business loans for operating capital.

great minds think alike Sawdust.  Just read your post.

LOL  You would be an exception, my dear.  So, how about that loan? ;)

Oh, and thank you all for your help.  I've blessed you all (and probably again). :))

  Ok, I'm going to try with my credit union since our company has a relationship together.  :))
