If you have ever taken out a loan against your next paycheck and were able to pay it back fully on time, congratulation.

For anyone who has not been that lucky and perhaps is now facing some difficult decisions, you may have some choices.

Being able to take a loan against your next paycheck certainly is a handy option in certain dire situations, especially if you are absolutely positive you'll be able to pay it back when it's due. If you can, that's great. If not, chances are you will take out another loan to cover the first, and so on.

Ultimately, your debt is out of control and your chances of paying back these loans are pretty slim.

However, many of the same people who are overextended with payday loans and watch the fees and interest rates accumulate to gargantuan amounts, actually have some financial options and resources to turn to, albeit they choose not to.

Even though the majority of people in the past who used these payday loans were usually lower income individuals with no assets aside from their paychecks, that is no longer true. Nowadays as we face a shaky economy, even middle and upper income professionals find it necessary to borrow some quick cash.

These same people, however, are trained to leave their assets and portfolios alone. They won't touch their retirement accounts or other investments because they are for "later". Immediate financial issues need to be delt with in other ways they believe, and certainly not by touching retirement accounts or other types of financial assets such as stocks and binds.

Long term investing is fine, but when you are in financial straits and need cash, you need to worry about today and not the future. If you don't solve your current problems, you may not even have a financial fuutre.

Even with early penalty withdrawals, you could be ahead of the game rather than allowing your payday loans to keep accruing interest. For example, if you withdraw $5,000 from your IRA before age 59 ½ you will be hit with a 10% penalty at year-end, as well as having that amount added to your annual income and taxed at year-end. That may sound scary, but it's not that bad especially when you compare it to what you'd be paying in penalties for your outstanding loans.

For an early $5,000 withdrawal, you will be paying a $500 penalty and perhaps an additional $1,000 at an estimated 20% tax rate (much less, if your adjusted gross income brings you closer to a 0% tax bracket). For a total of $1,500 or less, you would probably be saving a considerable amount.

Don't forget cash value insurance policies, either. Using their cash value is one of the reasons you bought this type of policy to begin with. Find out how much you can borrow, and do it.

Do you have college savings plans for your kids? Certain types allow you to use these funds without penalty. Your decision to go this route should be based entirely on the age of your children. If the first one is heading off to school next year, you should examine other alternatives.
