When you take a loan for {principal} over {n_periods} compounded by {frequency} at {percentage}; it turns out that there’s a mathematical formula that results in the exact cost of the loan. You can negotiate any of those parameters to achieve that flat-rate equivalent.
But watch out. Because lenders that will agree to flat-rate lending are also most likely to do so on an absolute cost-basis; meaning there is no benefit and perhaps even penalty for early payment.
Compounding isn’t all evil. Debt isn’t inherently evil, either. Like any instrument, it can be tool to improve your life and/or others’, or it can be a weapon to harm yours or others’.
