I can confidently say that I have NEVER had a loan to pay for anything except my house. No, I have never had a car loan. I pay my credit cards at months end. Never paid a dime's interest except on my house. If I want to buy something, I save up for it, then pay cash.or check. Usually with a discount. I can see a professional taking out a loan, to improve his livelihood, but not a hobbyist. Jerry Lehrer Stasys1 at cox.net wrote: > Frank- I read/hear that banks are loosening up on credit requests.
