I experienced first time loaning in a private firm with an interest that seemed eternal. I applied for a loan just a very small amount being carried away by the fun with my colleagues. I was a new employee that time. I only applied $200 with no purpose but dined anywhere with my friends. When the money was exhausted and almost paying time, I was terrified when I reached the firm to pay. The interest was 25 %. I only wasted my money. The next month I paid all. The manager refused but I said take it or leave it. After that experience, I never applied for a loan again.
