It’s that time of the year again. Your scheduled routine car checkup has come. The service attendant informs you that your car needs repair and it will cost $500. This wouldn’t normally be such a big deal except that this month you just took care of your kids’ tuition fees for the whole year. Like adding insult to injury, you need to be on a road trip the following week so you need to have the repair taken care of immediately. You suddenly remember a sign downtown that reads “Quick Cash Now”, that you have passed by countless times before but never really took notice. You decide to drop by and inquire. You wonder, “That’s it? That easy?” You’re in and out in 15 minutes and as you walk out you have peace of mind already that the cash will be wired in to your bank account the following day. You have peace of mind that your road trip the following week will push through. Sure, you may have been charged $50 in fees, but the peace of mind you got in the process is priceless.
