HOlU Much Debt Can You Afford?
Authorities Sound Warning Alarm

How much debt can your budget
stand? How do you decide whether
not to take on additional debt? Each
month people have been borrowing
one dollar for every six they spend,
adding So of new installment debt for
every SIS they repay. Alarming? Yes,
say the editors of Changing Times,
The Kiplinger Magazine.
There are yardsticks to use to see
whether or not your family is too
deep in debt. These rules have been
developed by bankers and professional
credit men. They vary some, but by
using them you can check up on your
own debt and find out if you are with
in safe limits.
/. The total amount you owe should
not go much beyond 20Soof years
| income.
2. You should not owe more than
the amount that 1919 of your income
would pay off within IL to "a months.
8. Debts should not total more than
a third of your income left over after
you pay for food, clothing and shell
ter.
The size of any instalment you
commit yourself to make is important
too. A conservative total could wreck
you if the monthly payments are too
steep. Here's how to see if your pay
ments are the right size. First, most
people have reached their limit when
all monthly instalment payments
total more than 20% to 25%o of
monthly take-home pay. This is a
limit, not a "safe" load. A healthy
debt picture would presumably show
payments totaling less than that. Sc
cond, the payments to any single
creditor should not, in general, be
more than 1917 of monthly income.
Here are five ways, suggested by
Changing Times editors, to prevent
Yourself from getting in over your
head.
*Don't take on any debt that will
run longer than the period for which
you can safely forecast your income
and outgo.
*When you buy on credit, you are
paying slightly more in exchange fol
having the goods or service now, SC
don't repay over so long period that
interest will mount to sum that is
more than you want to pay for the
privilege.
*When buying cars, major appli
ances, etc., don't sign up for term;
that will have you owing noticeably
more than the resale value of the item
bought.
sin general, make your down pay
ment as large, and your repayment
period as short, as you possibly cal
without undue strain.
*Avoid balloon notes"-those wher'
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1955-12-29

installment payments pay off only
part of the amount due and lump
sum payment is required at the end.
These days when you can find
someone who will give you almost
any terms you want, keeping within
your credit budget is a matter of will
power and budget balancing. Except
in crisis, its wise not to use your
maximum credit capacity but keep it
within safe limits for necessities,
long-lasting goods and equipment
that may help pay for itself through
budget savings.
Today, credit has become almost
the lifeblood of every day financial
operations, both in business and at
home. If you have debts on personal
loans you are not alone; $50 of the
people in this country do, too. But
among these folks, the majority de-
vote less than 20%o of after-tax in
come to making monthly payments
Few of these debts will run longer
than a year.
Wisely handled, credit is an asset
and worth using, but keep in mind an
old money maxim, rewritten: "Credit
is good servant, but bad master"
