SHAKELYA It’s easy to get sucked into payday loans. If I’m borrowing five hundred, but then it’s all of the different fees and if you miss a payment, you end up paying like three thousand dollars back. So it’s like, did it really help me? Not really. SHAKEYLA Hi, my name is Shakeyla. I’m from Detroit, born and raised. I’ve been with Possible since 2024. SHAKELYA The most stressful thing about finances is: not enough money. Everything is going up except our paychecks. Back in the day, I can remember spending two hundred dollars on food and it fills up the whole refrigerator, cabinets. Not so much now. So, it can be really stressful. So a lot of times, we have to look at cash advances just to supplement. SHAKELA It was a situation where I exhausted all other avenues of getting some extra money, and I seen Possible on Instagram, and I said, well, let me give this one a try, see what happens. SHAKEYLA Possible doesn’t allow you to overextend yourself. If I ask for fifty dollars, that’s what’s offered, and that’s what I use. SHAKELA The reason that you’re even asking for extra money is because your finances aren’t where they’re supposed to be, and having only to pay in increments, it just makes it easier for your budget. Possible has come through clutch for me. It just makes it easy to get a quick few extra bucks.
