- Maria Luna, a 25-year-old nurse, works at a hospital that pays her every 2 weeks by direct deposit into her checking account which pays no interest and has no minimum balance requirement. She takes home about PHP9,000 every 2 weeks or about PHP18,000 per month. She maintains a checking account in the bank that does not earn any interest income with a balance of around PHP7,500.

His total debt is now $13,864.82 Hak Young is daunted by that monthly payment amount and is trying to figure out how he can make paying off his loan more manageable. He went to his bank and found out he could get a personal line of credit that he could then use to pay off his credit card. The line of credit has an interest rate of 9% compounded monthly.
