If you are stuck in the web of loans,
[2]
then through this video,
[4]
I’ll share seven such ways
[6]
with which hopefully
[7]
you could get out of these loans.
[19]
Friends
[20]
getting stuck in loans is
[22]
a very dangerous thing.
[24]
It has happened to me in my childhood
[26]
where, not me
[27]
but my father got stuck in loan.
[28]
And it took many years to get out of it.
[31]
I understand the time where
[33]
credit card collectors stand at your door,
[36]
you get calls every day asking
[38]
when will we return the money.
[40]
This date has come.
[41]
You need to return this amount.
[42]
So, it’s a very hard period to deal with.
[45]
And nowadays
[46]
it is happening a lot.
[48]
Because you get credit cards easily.
[51]
We have got a ‘Buy now pay later’ radium,--
[54]
people are not using these
[55]
in a disciplained manner.
[57]
If you find yourself or your family
[59]
stuck in the web of a loan,
[62]
then this video might help you.
[64]
Seven such ways through which
[66]
you may pay your loans slowly
[69]
with minimal damage.
[71]
And two bonus items
[74]
right at the end of the video.
[76]
Through which you, no matter what,
[79]
can secure your family and yourself.
[82]
The first one, if you find yourself
[85]
in the trap of bad loans,
[88]
there are a lot of loans
[89]
there’s a personal loan,
[90]
there’s a home loan, there’s a car loan,
[92]
a credit loan, then it is very important
[98]
that you prioritize your loans.
[99]
You have to prioritize the loans
[101]
knowing this is important that which loan
[104]
is causing you the most damage.
[107]
Mostly,
[108]
these turn out to be short-term loans.
[110]
These turn out to be the ones
[112]
that don’t have any collateral.
[113]
These turn out to be the ones
[115]
that you buy not with an assest
[118]
but without assets.
[120]
What do I mean by that?
[121]
If you are taking a home loan,
[122]
then mostly to take a home loan
[124]
you need to put your home on mortgage,
[126]
you need to submit the paperwork for home.
[129]
The loan will be for a long duration,
[131]
for 10, 15, 20, 25 years,
[133]
and because of this
[134]
its interest rate would be very less.
[137]
Six percent, seven percent, eight percent,
[139]
but if you take a personal loan,
[141]
to take the personal loan
[143]
you didn’t put any mortgage.
[144]
There’s no collateral.
[146]
Maybe you have taken that loan
[148]
for one, two, or three years.
[150]
You might have taken the loan
[151]
for something that you wanted to buy,
[154]
but you weren’t able to buy,
[155]
so you thought let’s take a personal loan.
[157]
Or, worse your credit card,
[160]
you’ve swiped with the credit card,
[163]
but you weren’t at a stage
[165]
return the money in full.
[166]
So, you started paying in rotation
[168]
the minimum amount due.
[171]
And the next thing you know,
[172]
the amount for your credit
[174]
card has become so big,
[175]
because the interest rate for it is
[176]
thirty-five to forty percent a year.
[179]
So, it is important that all your loans,
[182]
first of all put them in a ranking,
[186]
and try to understand which loan
[188]
is causing you the most damage.
[190]
These are the loans with
[191]
the highest interest amounts,
[193]
and the shortest duration.
[195]
Because their quantum is very big,
[198]
that means, EMI is very big.
[200]
And if you don’t repay that loan on time,
[204]
then your interest will keep increasing.
[209]
That is the first step,
[212]
and I remember when I was in a time,
[215]
where there were credit cards,
[217]
personal loans, home loans, car loans.
[220]
This was the first step that we took,
[223]
father, we first have to figure out
[226]
that which loan we can repay gradually,
[230]
but, which loan do we need to repay today?
[233]
And that is the first step.
[236]
Number two, any long-term loans,
[239]
a home loan, or any such loan,
[242]
which is for five or ten years,
[244]
or if you’ve taken a loan from a person
[246]
whom you know, will trust you,
[249]
he is after his money,
[252]
but, not at the expense of your peace.
[256]
So, sit with them and increase
[258]
the tenure of your loan.
[261]
And this is a counter-intuitive suggestion
[264]
because whenever you increase
[265]
the tenure of your loan,
[267]
or increase the period to repay the loan,
[270]
then you’ll end up paying more interest.
[274]
And that may seem counter-intuitive,
[276]
because, now, you are
[277]
trying to get out of your loan,
[279]
but what will happen is
[280]
during that, when you’ll increase
[282]
the tenure of your loan,
[284]
your EMI will decrease.
[286]
And because EMI will become lesser,
[288]
then hopefully you’ll have some more money
[291]
that you’ll be able to divert towards
[293]
the loans which are sucking your blood,
[295]
that you need to end anyway.
[298]
So, I remember
[299]
my dad took a very big business loan.
[302]
But, thankfully
[303]
the person who gave him the loan,
[305]
was his business partner.
[306]
He wanted to get his money back,
[309]
but also he didn’t want that Ashok Warikoo
[311]
should have to repay the loan
[313]
at the expense of himself or his family.
[316]
So, dad spoke to him very patiently
[321]
and said, I am not at the
[322]
stage to repay this loan now,
[324]
so, can we increase the period of loan,
[329]
so that monthly I’ll pay you
[332]
a little less than I used to,
[333]
but I’ll repay it.
[335]
And they were okay with that.
[337]
Because for him, the important thing was
[340]
at the end of it, he’ll earn more money.
[342]
Because he’ll get more interest.
[344]
And you should also be in principle
[346]
okay with doing that.
[347]
Because of your short-term impact,
[349]
will be very less as the outflow of money
[353]
will become less.
[354]
Number three, when you are able to do it,
[357]
the extra money that you’ll get,
[360]
try to raise your EMI with that,
[364]
or try to make one-time contributions.
[366]
You must understand
[368]
the math of EMI and loans.
[372]
I’ve made a whole excel sheet for you.
[375]
And in that excel sheet,
[376]
I’ll try to show you
[379]
how can you increase your EMI
[381]
or by making one-time contributions
[384]
you can decrease the tenure of your loan
[385]
and the loan amount significantly.
[389]
So, this is the excel sheet.
[390]
You may also download this excel sheet.
[392]
But, I assumed that you’ve
[394]
taken a loan of 50 lakh rupees
[397]
at eight percent for 25 years.
[400]
The EMI for it is around ₹ 40,000.
[403]
At the end of these 25 years,
[406]
you’ll repay 50 lakh rupees anyway,
[408]
but the interest amount
[409]
would be 65 lakh rupees.
[412]
That means in these 25 years,
[414]
you’ll return your 50 lakh rupees,
[416]
but to the bank
[417]
or whoever you’ve taken the money from,
[418]
on top of this 50 lakh rupees,
[420]
they’ll get 65 lakh rupees more.
[423]
And that is a lot of money.
[425]
But, if you are only doing two things,
[428]
every year pay just one extra EMI,
[431]
just one extra EMI, that’s it.
[434]
And increase your EMI by 10%,
[439]
that means the EMI which
[441]
was ₹38,591 in the first month,
[444]
make it ₹42,450 the next year,
[449]
the next year make it ₹46,695.
[453]
And you’ll pay the original EMI ₹38,591
[458]
you’ll pay for it every year.
[460]
When you do that
[461]
then your interest which was ₹65 lakh
[465]
now becomes only 27 lakh rupees.
[469]
And that’s not all.
[470]
The loan is for 25 years,
[473]
not in 25 years
[475]
you’ll clear it within
[478]
Only 120 months,
[480]
within 10 years!
[482]
That is the power of paying
[485]
more than the EMI.
[487]
So, one extra EMI every year,
[490]
and increasing the EMI by 10% every year,
[494]
you’ll make the interest of 65 lakh rupees
[497]
to 27 lakh rupees which means
[499]
you’ll earn almost 40 lakh rupees.
[502]
And the loan of 25 years
[505]
ends within 10 years.
[509]
You can play around with this sheet.
[511]
And this will show you the power of paying
[515]
in excess whether EMI
[519]
or one-time contribution.
[521]
Number four, whatever your loan is,
[523]
especially, if it’s an expensive loan,
[525]
then re-finance it.
[527]
I’ll give a simple example,
[528]
you got the bill for your credit card,
[531]
you are paying 40 to 50 percent, yearly.
[535]
And it is criminal and it is suicidal,
[537]
if you are still doing that thing.
[540]
What you can do is let’s assume,
[543]
your credit card bill is one lakh rupees.
[545]
And it’s in rotating,
[546]
you take a personal loan.
[548]
That personal loan won’t be with a collateral,
[550]
But, it would be at
[552]
a maximum of 13% to 15% or 16%.
[554]
Which is significantly lower
[556]
than the 35% to 40%
[558]
that you pay for the credit card.
[559]
You take the personal loan,
[560]
and pay the credit card payment in full.
[564]
Now,
[565]
you have to only pay the personal loan
[568]
at a much smaller interest rate.
[570]
The same thing,
[571]
if you have a personal loan,
[574]
that you’ve taken from a landlord,
[576]
or a friend, or a contractor at 20%,
[581]
then try to take
[582]
the same thing from a bank
[585]
or someone else at less interest rate.
[588]
You take the money and return it
[590]
to the original lenders in one go.
[593]
And then keep paying the new lenders
[596]
the amount.
[597]
A lot of time it happens with
[598]
the payments of credit card,
[601]
you’ll get a call that you can transfer
[602]
the outstanding bills on your credit card
[605]
to the other one.
[608]
Very risky by the way,
[609]
I do not propose it,
[610]
but, if you don’t have any other choice,
[614]
then this may still be
[615]
a better choice to make.
[617]
Because when you first time
[618]
transfer it, then they give you a rebate
[622]
you get an open offer,
[624]
where the interest in that
[626]
time period is very less,
[628]
and you can actually
[629]
make the most out of it.
[630]
Net net, whatever is the interest amount of your loan,
[634]
wherever you find a lesser than that,
[639]
please take the money from there.
[641]
and clear the original loan
[643]
then try to clear this new loan,
[645]
because that will be
[646]
lower financial distress on you.
[649]
Number five, followed by this,
[651]
as I have told you in order to pay a loan
[654]
if you have to pay another loan,
[655]
then there’s no fault in that.
[657]
I have done that so many times in my life.
[660]
I remember, when there was a time
[662]
nearbuy was going through a difficult time,
[664]
I didn’t take my salary for months,
[667]
there were household expenses,
[669]
kids’ school fee, EMI for home and all.
[671]
My credit card was maxed out.
[674]
Everything was just there.
[676]
And what I then did
[677]
was I took a loan from a friend.
[679]
That person has gave an opportunity
[682]
to pay my credit card bill completely.
[687]
He only charged me 10%
[689]
and that was the cheapest loan
[690]
that I could’ve taken because thankfully,
[692]
I had a friend who had the money.
[694]
So, technically, what I did was
[695]
took a loan from one person,
[697]
and repaid the other loan from that.
[700]
Now, I have this loan completely paid off.
[704]
I need to pay this new loan.
[706]
But, it was through a friend.
[708]
He knows that I will repay his loan
[709]
even if I delay.
[711]
But I won’t run away with his money.
[715]
And most importantly, it was just 10%
[717]
so it was far lesser in cost,
[720]
than what was the original loan.
[722]
Number six, prepare a budget.
[724]
If I tell you that,
[726]
you need to quit cigarette or alcohol,
[728]
and that is something
[729]
that you really enjoy
[730]
or you are addicted to it,
[731]
then it won’t happen just by wanting,
[733]
you need to work towards it, right?
[736]
You will actually have to devote
[737]
your mental, physical, emotional energy
[742]
to make that happen.
[743]
In the same way
[744]
if you are trapped in a loan,
[747]
and you need to get out of it,
[749]
then you will have to work hard towards it.
[752]
And making a budget
[753]
is the first step toward that.
[754]
Try to understand that a lot of people
[757]
get trapped in loans because
[759]
they didn’t plan the budget properly.
[762]
They haven’t thought through everything
[764]
that is going to happen
[765]
and because of this,
[766]
they are sitting now in this
[768]
financial distress situation.
[769]
A great way to prepare a budget
[772]
Is that the EMI for your loans should never be
[777]
more than 30%
[778]
or a maximum of 40% of your total income.
[781]
And the minute it goes beyond that
[783]
you know that
[784]
you are doing something wrong.
[786]
If your yearly income or
[788]
monthly income is 100,
[789]
but more than 30 or 40 is going for EMI,
[793]
then you are doing something wrong.
[795]
And you have to take a pause on that.
[797]
The best way to budget…
[798]
is what’s called the 50-30-20 rule.
[800]
Out of your monthly income
[802]
maximum 50% should go into your needs.
[807]
These are your needs,
[808]
which include your EMI,
[809]
your rent, your food expenses.
[813]
The needs of life, that you have to spend
[817]
to live your life.
[818]
Thirty percent towards your desires.
[820]
And that is where
[821]
you have to control yourself.
[822]
You want to buy a phone, go on a vacation,
[824]
you want to buy a car, buy good clothes,
[827]
whatever it is, you need to adjust
[829]
yourself within this 30%.
[831]
And then remaining 20% towards investments.
[834]
Long-term investments,
[836]
that is for your long-term purchases,
[838]
buy a house, buy a car,
[840]
education for kids, you want to go out,
[842]
plans for retirement,
[844]
whatever the case may be.
[845]
But you are investing that 20%,
[849]
so that you don’t fall in same situation
[851]
that you are in right now.
[852]
You have to take this budget seriously.
[855]
Because until you don’t do that,
[857]
you are going to fall into this loan trap
[859]
again and again.
[861]
And number seven,
[863]
the final and last resort.
[865]
Settlement. Every loan provider,
[869]
carries a certain default in his mind.
[874]
Even if it’s a big bank or a small person,
[877]
for them, an NPA
[879]
means Non-Performing Assets
[881]
there’s a percentage for it,
[883]
which is included in their business.
[886]
It is usually in the range
[888]
of two to four percent.
[890]
That means if they give 100 loans,
[892]
they know that out of those
[894]
two to four loans
[896]
they won’t be able to repay it.
[899]
And they have to settle them.
[901]
If you are at such a point,
[904]
where you can’t think of anything,
[907]
you can’t see anything,
[908]
there’s no way to take a new loan,
[910]
there’s no way to generate extra income
[912]
and repay the loan,
[914]
no way to increase the tenure of the loan,
[916]
whatever the case may be.
[917]
Then, the last resort
[919]
could be a settlement.
[920]
The meaning of settlement is
[922]
whatever your outstanding is,
[924]
you go to them, you’ll confess
[926]
that there’s no way
[928]
you could pay the outstanding.
[930]
And you ask them to
[931]
settle at a smaller amount.
[934]
They are going to,
[935]
ofcourse, be very angry.
[937]
They are going to do everything
[938]
they can, to get their money.
[940]
But, if they come to a conclusion
[943]
that you don’t have the capacity
[945]
to repay the loan,
[947]
then they are going to settle.
[949]
It has happened in my family.
[951]
There was a time when
[952]
my father’s credit card bills
[954]
were so maxed out
[956]
and we had no way to pay them.
[958]
And I remember him
[959]
settling every credit card,
[961]
one by one by one by one.
[963]
The biggest damage that it does is,
[966]
your credit rating will
[967]
end for a lifetime.
[970]
Today, there’s no one who is willing to
[973]
give any loan to my dad.
[976]
Because there’s a stamp on his history,
[980]
that he settled for an amount.
[982]
And that is something that
[983]
you have to bear in mind.
[985]
But the settlement is possible.
[987]
So, if you want to put
[988]
the credit score aside
[991]
and get control of your existing life,
[994]
then settlement is something that
[996]
you should discuss with your bank,
[998]
with your credit card company,
[1000]
with your lender that I can’t do it,
[1003]
please settle at a smaller amount.
[1006]
That is the best that I can do.
[1008]
Go for that.
[1010]
So, these seven ways,
[1012]
to help you get out of a bad loan trap.
[1016]
Something that I have
[1017]
personally gone through
[1018]
and I hope it was useful.
[1020]
Two bonus things.
[1021]
To ensure yourself, god forbid,
[1026]
if this happens to you again,
[1028]
then to cause minimum
[1030]
damage to your family,
[1031]
you have to do two things.
[1033]
Number one,
[1034]
you have to have an emergency fund.
[1035]
You have to contribute
[1037]
towards an emergency fund.
[1039]
That should be for at least six months
[1041]
or ideally twelve months.
[1042]
So, whatever your monthly needs,
[1044]
whatever your monthly expenses are
[1046]
that you have to spend,
[1049]
for you to live your life,
[1050]
the expenses for six months
[1053]
and ideally twelve months,
[1055]
you need to have it.
[1056]
This emergency fund
[1058]
has to be split into three parts,
[1059]
ten percent in cash,
[1061]
so whatever your emergency fund is,
[1062]
out of it, ten percent will
[1064]
always be as cash with you,
[1065]
twenty percent in your bank,
[1067]
it’s in your bank anytime.
[1069]
And seventy percent in your fixed deposit,
[1072]
that is growing slowly,
[1074]
it’s not beating the inflation
[1075]
but the whole purpose of the
[1076]
emergency fund is protection
[1079]
not growing the money.
[1080]
So, these three
[1082]
will be the split of your emergency fund.
[1084]
Number two is insurance.
[1087]
Health insurance,
[1088]
for everyone in the family.
[1089]
And life insurance for yourself.
[1091]
God forbid if something happens to you,
[1094]
then the worst thing you’ll do
[1095]
is leave your family in this.
[1097]
You can’t do that.
[1099]
You have to ensure that
[1100]
your life is insured.
[1101]
So, if anything happens to you,
[1103]
that we never want,
[1105]
then your family could get such an amount
[1108]
through which they don’t
[1109]
have the need to earn
[1110]
for at least for a few years.
[1112]
And health insurance,
[1113]
in the past two years,
[1114]
if we have learned anything
[1116]
is that there were a lot of families
[1117]
that didn’t have health insurance.
[1119]
And because of covid, they ruined
[1121]
as their hospital bill didn’t stop.
[1124]
You don’t want to be there.
[1126]
So, for yourself, your immediate family,
[1129]
for your parents,
[1130]
health insurance is very important.
[1133]
Because you do not want to be
[1135]
spending money on hospitalization,
[1137]
when somebody else can do it for you.
[1140]
These seven ways to get out of a bad loan,
[1142]
these two things of an emergency fund
[1144]
and insurance to ensure that
[1145]
if you get stuck at that point
[1148]
then you and your family
[1149]
suffer minimal damage,
[1151]
is my way of trying to help you
[1153]
out of a bad loan.
[1155]
I hope this was useful.
