We really do have so many choices in today's world. Sometimes it seems as though we are being inundated by all kinds of options. We can choose from among different modes of conveyance. We can choose from among different brands of clothes. We can choose from among a wide range of stores to shop in. And that is not it.

Even movie halls give us options these days. We no longer have to come home with sad faces because we got no tickets to the movie playing in the neighborhood theatre. In this era of multiplexes, we can always try getting tickets for some other movie if the tickets for the one that we originally wanted have been sold out. Even when it comes to eating out, we no longer have just a few restaurants to choose from. There are hundreds of restaurants all over the place, each of them claiming to be special for one reason or another.

The fact that we have so many options simply heightens the number of temptations that we have to combat. It is easy to equate temptation with the not-so-good aspects of life such as excessive alcohol, unsafe sex, gambling, stealing, and so on. However, wouldn't you agree that the temptation to go over your budget is far more overpowering than most of these other so-called immoral temptations?

Imagine yourself going into a bookstore (assuming that you are a booklover), you would probably have to keep a constant control over yourself to make sure that you do not buy more books than you can afford. Temptation is far more difficult to resist when it is something like books or movies that you feel would enrich your mind. If something is good for you, is that adequate reason to overspend?

It is all right to go over your budget some times. But what do you do if you then get stuck with some other urgent expense that you do not have sufficient funds to pay for? In the old days, you might have been stuck. However, banks have come up with the concept of payday loans to deal with such situations. Thus, someone who is broke can apply for a payday loan to tide him over till his next paycheck comes in. It sounds easy, and it is. Of course, that is not reason enough to give in to temptation and regularly go overboard with one's expenses. Payday loans are meant for emergencies. Let's keep it that way.
