Explaining Your Personal Inflation Rates

Your personal inflation rate is an important consideration by lenders who are evaluating your ability to pay back a loan in due time. Your personal inflation rate will change of different periods of your life depending on your lifestyle, your marital status, and your age. This means that if you have a family to support, feed, and fund your personal inflation rate is much higher. For those of us who are single and do not have nearly the same expenses as a young family growing up, your personal inflation rate will be much lower. This does not mean that having a personal inflation rate makes you a much better candidate for approval. It just means of the bank knows you have less expenses to deal with all the monthly basis.

The typical example that I have seen on the Internet is to compare a young family with children and an elderly couple with all of their children out of the house, married, and financially stable with their jobs and monthly income. However, this typical example or comparison of different personal inflation rates is a small one. There are many different examples and all of them are never the same so do not think that your personal situation, or should I say financial situation, is the same as any example you read about on the Internet. The banks consider lending money to consumers and people like yourself on an individual basis and they have to take many factors before they give you your loan.

For instance, if the banks either you have a car payment that is very large and you have a mortgage payment that is very large, and you have credit card debt that is very high and almost unmanageable it doesn't matter how low your personal inflation rate is. Your personal inflation rate could be butkus, nada, nil, nothing but if your personal finances are out of control as I have just given as an example you could very well be turned down or not approved for a loan. On the other hand, a young family with seven children and and an extremely high personal inflation rate could be approved for financing if they're credit rating is squeaky clean, and they have a history of making all of their payments and they have no dings on their credit rating. In fact, I would go as far to say that if your credit rating is squeaky clean and you have a FICO score that is about 700, it really does not matter what your personal inflation rate is - the banks will feel comfortable about your risk level and grant you the loan.
