Is your dream school out of your price range? Do you need to expand or improve your home? Are you struggling to afford the perfect wedding? Don’t worry – there’s a loan for that.
As expenses for weddings continue to rise, personal loan providers have found a brand new group of prospective borrowers: brides and grooms. Online lenders are marketing the loans as a way couples can spring for luxury add-ons that often make the big day more Instagram-worthy, like custom calligraphy or a stunning venue. Some of these startups have interest rates as high as 30 percent – and the number of borrowers is only increasing.
If you’ve had a wedding, how did you pay for it? Looking back, do you think it was a good investment? If you’re planning a wedding, would you ever consider a loan to afford the big day of your dreams – and who is expected to pay? Call us at 866-893-5722.
