Hi fellow bloggers

My name is Ahmed, I have recently started blogging on topic on personal finance, trading and Investments. Internationally personal finance and investments is a hot topic for blogging, but there are few people in sharing their knowledge on the subject in Pakistan, I thought it would be a great if I could fill up some of the gap.

On the Steemit platform I shall be sharing my strategies relating to personal finance, trading and investments. These are inspired from various personal finance blog, books and other reading material, I will try on maximum basis to adapt these strategies based on income tax code and investment products available in Pakistan.

You can follow me on my Steemit address https://steemit.com/@ahmedvirani/

Greetings -- how common is personal debt in Pakistan?

What are the most common forms -- credit cards, personal loans, student loans, something else?

Cheers,

dcj

Personal debt in Pakistan as elsewhere starts from credit card debt

Student loans are almost non existent

Access to finance is limited mostly to middle class, that too is charged exorbitant interest rates starting from 24%

My advice would be stay away from these products, build a emergency fund and start saving 20% of your income
