4. Make sure the lender appears in the Wisconsin regulator's licence list.
5. Test the payment against your current bills before you commit.
6. Pick the shortest term whose payment you can comfortably afford.
7. Do not borrow more than the expense calls for, even if a lender approves a larger amount.
