Paul wants to take his girlfriend out to dinner for their anniversary, but he has no cash available. He gets paid on March 28th, but the anniversary dinner will be on March 20th. He needs to be able to access the money from his paycheck several days in advance. Even though it can be risky, what type of business could best meet Paul’s needs?

A payday lender/paycheck-advance business. These businesses make short-term cash advances against an upcoming paycheck so Paul could get money before his March 28 pay date.

Warning: payday loans carry very high fees and interest and can trap borrowers in a cycle of debt. Safer alternatives to consider: ask his employer for an advance, borrow from friends/family, use a credit-card cash advance (also costly but usually cheaper), or negotiate a cheaper anniversary plan.
