This program will help you undo financial bondage.
Cosigning is making an agreement with a creditor to
pay debts taken out by someone else. Such agreements require you to pay the
monthly loan payments when the person becomes delinquent on the loan payment (regardless
of whether he is unable to pay or simply decides not to be honorable).
Allowing someone to use your credit card technically puts you in the same
situation because your contract with the credit card company requires you to pay
all charges authorized on the card.
A person’s request for you to cosign to cover his
debt may not look like a bad thing when the appeal is being made. They often
have a lot of emotional appeal behind them because the person needs help overcoming
financial obstacles. Yet, it’ll cause you immense emotional pain, heartache,
and financial turmoil when they don’t make the monthly payments or pay off the
debts as contracted and expected.
It's generally an irresponsible action to cosign for
someone given that the vast majority of these situations result in the other
party not paying as agreed and thus forcing collectors to come after cosigners.
Also, most cosigners don’t have enough income or assets to cover the debt, once
the lender comes after them. It negatively affects well-being and leaves cosigners
in a tumultuous financial and relational state. Make no mistake, it doesn’t
work any better among family members and close friend and the fallout promotes
unforgiveness, long-term ill feelings, and separation.
Respect that the financial institution doesn’t
consider the requester’s personal financial situation healthy enough to sign
for his own debt, and that these institutions are expert at judging the
likelihood of repayment by people with particular financial profiles. Then,
just say NO! Otherwise, a significant amount of your income and assets will
soon be spent paying off debt taken out by other people. Your credit will likely
get wrecked, no matter how much income you bring in, because you are persuaded
to cosign for irresponsible and untrustworthy people.
Pray and watch those that labor among you knowing
that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. In so doing, many
have learned bad habits in the financial arena of their lives. Then, choose not
to repeat their mistakes and not help them continue to make such mistakes. The
best way to help ones you can help is to use available cash, at an amount that
won’t impoverish your family, when you determine a true need exists and believe
you’re supposed to help. Cosigning is not the solution to fixing other people’s
poverty, need, and financial troubles. Scriptural principle says avoid it, so
by all means do so knowing it is not the avenue of blessing for you, your
family, or the person asking.

The
book at the link below provides principles and practical steps that help you
use the Power To Get Wealth. By 1992, we had $135,000 of debt and
a negative $35,000 net worth. Financial bondage and turmoil led me to seek
principles and a process for employing good stewardship. As a result, we became
constructively debt-free in 1998, mortgage free January 2004, millionaires in
2012, multi-millionaires shortly thereafter, and retired in 2018 in my
mid-fifties from public servant jobs while giving abundantly to fund the gospel
of our LORD Jesus Christ. The same power is available to you!
