Internet Payday Loans?

I’ve been readin gon more websites the availability of such things as Payday Loans and also of Bad Credit Loans. I’m surprised to see these things, as I have believed that financial matters online are risky. However, I am more at ease doing my banking and credit card applications online. I think the Internet is becoming “all things to all people” kind of thing. Certainly in these unstable economic times, people are turning to loans, especially if they are quick and easy and easily obtainable. I don’t see any problem with short-term loans for minor things (like an emergency car repair) or long-term loans for investments (like a house), but the problem would come with someone spending beyond their means, or in getting long-term loans for short-term items. A person has to be extremely careful and self-disciplined to be able to acquire a loan online and pay it back, I think. Although, I am glad to see that we have other alternatives besides begging our local bank for money…. how about you? If you were ever in a real pinch, would you take advantage of a pay day loan? Would you do it online?
