The winters in my state are especially heavy, and if it snows too much for too long, your roof can fall victim and either cave in or at least suffer serious damage. People whose roofs can't stand the pressure may end up needing expensive repairs - and expensive repairs may mean seeking a quick $5,000 loan.
Just think of the alternative - leaving the roof unrepaired and letting all that cold air and snow flow into the house? I don't think anybody would be in favor of that idea. So if you don't have the cash on hand and you don't want a big snow drift in your living room, you'll need to find someone who will lend you the money to get it fixed.
Or how about this - it's the week before the Super Bowl, and you're hosting the neighborhood party. All your friends are counting on you to throw the party of the year, and you have everything in place except the big screen TV. You obviously can't have all your buddies sitting around your pathetic four year old 32" low def right?
No - you can't. And in this kind of emergency the only real option for making sure your neighborhood reputation stays intact is to get some kind of short term loan and buy the kind of TV that will make your friends proud.
Neither of those scenarios are really life and death - one is physically uncomfortable and the other socially important - but survivable. What if it's the holiday season, there's a death in the family, and you have to travel across the country for a funeral on a moment's notice.
Airline tickets on such short notice are going to cost a fortune - the total could add up to thousands of dollars. Maybe you have the money in an emergency fund, but maybe you don't. The only answer might be a signature loan.
Any wise person will avoid taking on unnecessary debt - and heaven forbid you're faced with any of the above situations. I would especially discourage you from buying that big screen if you have to borrow money at high rates to get it; your friends will live if they have to watch the big game on a smaller television.
But the fact is you may have to borrow money under less than ideal circumstances and when that time comes, you need to know your options. Signature loans are probably the only way out if you don't have any cash laying around or room on your credit cards. Just make sure you're smart enough to set up and immediate repayment plan, and your long term goals should be relatively unaffected.
