Think about this situation: you've been saving ten dollars a month for something you really want, and you now have $30. It's now
on sale for $100. You ask your grandparents to lend you $70 so you can buy it. You tell them that you'll pay $10 each month. They say that they'll lend you the money, but your repayment must include interest. You will need to repay them $77. Would you take the loan? Discuss at least two reasons for your decision.
I would take the loan because all around, $77 dollars is not that much money in itself. It would be fairly easy to pay your grandparents back eventually. Plus, if you have a strong desire and need for the item that costs $100, so much so that you would not mind paying technically $7 more to your grandparents in interest in total cost, it does not seem like so bad a decision. Overall, the interest rate would be 10%, which is quite low. In conclusion, I would definitely take the loan. :)
