Page | 7
Loans play a significant role in financial literacy and managing your personal

What is a loan?

A loan is a sum of money you borrow from a lender (bank, financial institution,
etc.), which you agree to repay with interest over a specified period (loan term).
You're essentially borrowing money from the future, consuming it today, and
committing to returning it later with additional charges.

Types of loans:

• Secured loans:

These are backed by collateral, such as a house or car. If you default on


the loan, the lender can seize the collateral to recoup their losses.
Examples include mortgages and auto loans.

• Unsecured loans:

These are not backed by collateral, making them riskier for lenders.
Consequently, they come with higher interest rates. Examples include
personal loans and student loans.

Key loan terms:

• Principal:

The original amount borrowed.

• Interest:

The cost of borrowing money, expressed as a percentage of the principal.

• Interest rate:

score and limit your future borrowing ability.

• Financial burden:

Loan payments can strain your monthly budget, making other financial
goals difficult to achieve.

• Investment opportunities:

Excessive debt can limit your ability to invest for your future, impacting
your long-term financial security.

Financial literacy and managing loans:

• Budgeting:

Creating a budget and tracking your income and expenses helps you
manage your cash flow and ensure you can afford loan payments.

• Credit score:

Maintaining a good credit score qualifies you for lower interest


rates, saving you money over the loan term.

• Comparison shopping:

Compare loan offers from different lenders to find the best interest rate
and terms for your situation.

Page | 9
• Debt repayment:

Prioritize debt repayment and consider strategies like early payments to


reduce your overall cost.

By understanding the basics of loans and their implications on your financial


well-being, you can make informed decisions and manage debt effectively.
Remember, loans are powerful tools, but they must be used responsibly and
with careful consideration.
