Costly Cash: How a Retiree Wound Up With a 375% Loan
Preston White needed $5,000 to help his daughter relocate after serving in Iraq. Denied by his bank, he got his cash (but only $4,000) at his local Cash Store via a one-month loan. With fees and interest, he’d need to repay %5,268.50 — giving him a 375% APR. But that’s not the end of the story.

I’m usually so flustered and stressed out by my angels’ tantrums that I don’t even notice other people gawking at the family drama.

I don’t ask for much, people.” Yes, I’m a little envious.
