Truman Financial Review
Visiting my sister in Florida
As I don't have a very high-paying job (I work as a waiter here in L.A.), I always find myself bouncing from paycheck to paycheck with no money left for my savings account. It's a lifestyle I'm sure many people are familiar with.. Most of the time it's fine actually, after a while you get settled in and know exactly how much you can spend and when you need to live cheaply for a while. Sometimes fate throws a little misfortune your way though, like a couple months back when I found out my sister was moving half the world away to India. She was already sort of half the world away - living a good life in Florida, but this meant I wouldn't be able to see her for at least a year.
Naturally I wanted to visit her one last time before she had to fly away, but I quickly got discouraged when I saw the amount left on my bank account. I would never have enough money to visit her in Florida before she left! So there I was with one and a half week left to my next paycheck and barely enough money to pay the bills, let alone pay for an expensive airline ticket.
A friend suggested that I'd take a short term loan, or what's also known as a payday loan. Having heard bad things about them I was naturally hestitant. Would I be able to pay it back? I scoured the web for more information and found Truman Financial. They looked like they knew what they were doing, and their terms were humane as well. With two weeks to go before my sister left the USA, I took a chance. They promptly payed out my loan and I booked the flight - I was really joyful about this trip!
The trip to Florida was great, and I have never regretted taking that loan. In fact, in just a month I will have payed it all back to Truman Financial. Safe to say I'd never hestitate to do it all over again if I had too.

I've had a nice experience with truman financial as well. it's one of the few payday lenders that i've actually heard people only say good things about.
