• Payday advances

Did you see how stock markets around the world plummet today? The last time Wall Street fell so much in a day was back in the financial crisis of 2008. That’s how bad it was. Every part of the world is affected by the economic downturn in the past few years. Just when you think the world economy is recovering from 2008, we hit another hurdle. Muslims have ushered in Ramadhan and the festive season is just a month away. Many have no choice but to tighten their belts. Hold back on festive season spendings and splurges. Some of my friends have to resort to payday advances to make it through the next couple of months. Life throws you a couple of curve balls and the current economy is definitely one of those.
