Loans can be powerful tools to meet your financial goals, but overborrowing can lead to debt stress and financial instability. Avoiding excessive borrowing is crucial for maintaining healthy finances and a good credit score.
Vizzve Finance shares expert tips to help you borrow responsibly and keep your financial life balanced.
What is Overborrowing?
Overborrowing happens when you take on more debt than your income and financial capacity can comfortably support, leading to repayment difficulties.
Signs You Might Be Overborrowing
High debt-to-income ratio
Struggling to pay multiple EMIs on time
Relying on credit cards or loans for daily expenses
Receiving multiple loan offers or rejections
Tips to Avoid Overborrowing

Calculate your monthly income and expenses to determine how much EMI you can afford without financial strain.
2. Create a Realistic Budget
Include all expenses and set aside funds for EMIs before making new borrowing decisions.
3. Prioritize Existing Debts
Focus on clearing high-interest loans or credit card debts before taking on new loans.
