As household bills and food and petrol prices rocket, many people are finding their monthly wage just doesn't stretch far enough. If an unexpected bill or expensive car repair has left you feeling the pinch; never fear. There are a number of short term loan options available to you that should help ease your money worries in the short term:

Overdrafts
Depending on your bank and the type of account you have, you may be eligible for an overdraft. If you have found yourself overdrawn, a prior agreement with your bank will enable you to use a certain amount of funds.

Your overdraft limit is agreed with the bank, and will act as an extra income in the short term. Interest is normally charged at an agreed rate. If you exceed your agreed terms however, an additional fee may be charged and higher interest rates applied.

Selling Possessions
Websites such as eBay and Gumtree are booming in popularity, and have replaced the traditional pawn shop. If you're finding yourself a little short for cash this month, it can be a good idea to sell unwanted belongings.

If you have old mobile phones, there are plenty of sites that will give you money for them - whether they are working or not. There are also websites where you can sell unwanted books, DVDs, and CDs. Many companies will also pay for unwanted gold so it is worth looking around for things to sell.

This way, the money is all yours and you don't have to pay fees, or pay anyone back. You are unlikely to get the amount you originally paid for the items however, so it is worth shopping around before selling.
