It has become very common for people to borrow money. Most people have a Credit Card, a mortgage and often they will buy a car on credit as well. Is this a good idea is it too risky? Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Nowadays, the borrowing of funds has become easier than past. Now,
people
have
credit
cards
and they can take
loans
from banks to buy property or cars. Some
people
think that it is too risky to take
loans
and some are in favour.
This
essay will discuss both views in the forthcoming paragraphs.
To begin
with, many
people
believe that
loans
take an individual into debt and they are not in the favour of
credit
cards
.
For instance
, one of my friends takes a
loan
to purchase a car from a bank. His monthly salary was 70,000 and the instalment of the
loan
was 35000. In the beginning, it was a smooth process of instalments later during COVID, he suffered a lot. He lost his job and
then
the bank manager took his car and said within the given period of time settle down your mortgage
otherwise
they will sell their car. It was really a harsh situation for him. From
this
view,
people
are afraid to take
loans
.
On the other hand
, some
people
and I believe that
loans
or
credit
cards
are beneficial to purchasing a home or installing a new company. I think proper planning proves beneficial for us.
For instance
, In 2012, I took a
loan
to establish my own factory. I made planning on how I will return
this
loan
. Everything was going in planning and in 2020 I paid all amount in instalments now I have my own factory worth rupees two crores and I am
also
debt-free. To conclude, In my opinion, I think that
credit
cards
are not bad if one uses them wisely. It gives us advantages to make our own home or property. With proper planning, it can be paid.
