Added for You - Why Some Decisions Are Harder Than Others
Your credit rating is taken into consideration in just about any part of your personal life. From buying a house to getting insurance, your credit rating is important. By maintaining good credit, you can save money by getting lower rates on your home loan to a car loan. A good credit rating can even qualify you for a low interest rate credit card.When you look at new credit card offers today, the majority of them give you a 0% APR introductory period, which is extended from six months up to fifteen months, depending on the financial instit

The fastest way to make a good interview go bad is to avoid questions posed by the hiring manager. The one question candidates love to avoid is, “What is your greatest weakness?” Most candidates are quick to respond with superficial answers such as “I’m a workaholic” or “I’m a perfectionist.” Not only are those responses boring, but they are also predictable answers interviewers are used to hearing. So much so that an interviewer’s comeback line often is, “That doesn’t sound like a weakness. Now why don’t you tell me about a real weakness?”
In reality, not all so-called hard decisions are hard. Some feel harder than others owing to scale:
• If a friend asks to borrow ?5 you’re likely to oblige without thinking about it
• If that friend asks to borrow ?1,000 you’re likely to be circumspect and ask questions
The decision is the same one in essence – concerning creditworthiness. But, where the amount is greater, we perceive the decision to be much harder because the consequences are greater. Who cares about ?5? But, ?1,000 is a sum most people would not wish to lose. It represents a risk, but at what stage does the decision become hard - ?6, ?25, more? The risk is that the friend might not or cannot repay the money and therefore, you might regret your decision. Your decision will be based on your consideration of the risk and the magnitude of the possible loss, although you might not see it in this way.
Defining Hard Decisions
We can define a decision as having ‘hard’ characteristics when:
• The situation is uncertain – i.e. there is a greater perceived risk
And also when:
• The situation is inherently complex with many different issues – e.g. the siting of a new airport is immensely complex, especially in these environmentally-aware times, because of the factors that must be taken into consideration (flight paths, air traffic control slots, residents, communications links, etc)
• There are several objectives but one or more is blocked and compromises or trade-offs are needed
• Different perspectives can lead to different conclusions – especially true where two or more people are involved in making a decision; they may disagree about the assumptions, probable outcomes or, even, the decision
The key issue is how to handle hard decisions to ensure they are taken as painlessly as possible. This requires the use of a robust, consistent approach and an appropriate level of detail – essential to ensure that risk is minimised or, at least, understood.

As you may be aware, student loans are today's largest form of student aid. Research has found that student loans make up to 54 percent of the total aid awarded each year. However, with the rise in student loans, several cases of student loan defaults occur. Student loan debt has become one of today's major problems with most student borrowers. It is rising every year and the college expenses as well as the graduate school costs have definitely gone up faster than inflation. This is too often the case when you take a particular loan then another

Debt consolidation loan is a loan taken at a lower rate of interest, to pay off a number of other debts, all taken at a comparatively higher rate. This is a viable option for those who find themselves knee deep in debt, receiving warning calls from collection agencies and attorneys alike. Considering the number of people who struggle with their debts and file for bankruptcy, the concept of debt consolidation is a better alternative for creditors who would at least be able to claim some amount of money, if not the total amount. The benefit extends

• Analysis different perspectives and facilitate logical presentation, in order to obtain consensus/decisions, especially where several opinions are present
• Encourage flexibility to change as circumstances alter and which may invalidate or fundamentally alter the appropriateness of the decision
• Provide an ‘audit trail’ demonstrating how the decision was reached, what was considered, who was involved, etc (very useful when things go wrong and ‘regret’ is considered)
And Finally: Some Decision-Making Errors
Research has identified a few very common errors or points to watch out for when making decisions, in particular:
• Haste – not to be confused with speed. A decision is made before the facts are available or without taking the facts into account. Decide in haste – regret at leisure.
• Narrow perspective – either in the decision itself or, more commonly, in the understanding of the issue and facts.
• Over-confidence – either in the decision itself or, more commonly, in the understanding of the issue and facts.
• Rules-of-thumb – relying on rough frameworks or shortcuts for important decisions instead of carrying out adequate analysis.
• Filtering – screening out unpleasant findings or those that do not support pre-conceived notions or the decision you want to make.
• Juggling – lack of analytical framework and, therefore, trying to manage many variables or pieces of information in your head.
A proper framework helps obviate these problems
