“Hey Florists!”
Your Financial Florist here with some urgent tea 
about those ‘instant personal loans’ flooding your phone notifications. You know the ones – ‘Get ₹5 lakhs in 5 minutes!’ ‘Zero documentation loans!’ ‘Instant money in your account!’
Well, my blooming buddies, let’s talk about why these ‘quick loans’ are actually financial quicksand. And trust me, this might be the most important post you’ll read this year! 
The Seductive Setup
Picture this: Your phone pings with a notification:
‘Congratulations! Pre-approved personal loan of ₹3 lakhs waiting for you! Just 3 clicks away!’
Tempting, right? Especially when:
- Your favorite influencer just dropped their new course
- That dream iPhone 15 Pro Max is on ‘sale’
- Your friend’s destination wedding is coming up
- You need to ‘invest’ in that trending crypto

[The Debt Trap Cycle]
Here’s what usually happens:
Month 1-3: “Easy! I can handle this EMI!”
Month 4: Emergency expense pops up
Month 5: Take another quick loan to cover the first one
Month 6: Welcome to the debt spiral!
