In this episode of Ask Dad: Financial Edition, we break down what payday loans are, how they work, why they come with shockingly high interest rates (sometimes 400–500% annually), and who they target.
We talk about:
✅ What a payday loan actually is
✅ Why they're not regulated like traditional bank loans
✅ Real numbers: how 20% interest for 2 weeks = 500% APR
✅ Why these loans often prey on low-income borrowers
✅ Safer alternatives and what we'd love to see instead
If you've ever considered a payday loan or are just trying to understand how money lending works — this is the breakdown you’ve been looking for.
