A generation or so ago most people were raised with the philosophy that if you don't have the money to pay for it, then you simply couldn't have it.

Secured loans make it easy to buy the things you want now, whether that is a new car, a holiday, or some improvements for your home, so that you can enjoy them while you pay for them.B.
