<![CDATA[Economics is one of the challenges humans faces in everyday life, especially in meeting their needs. Humans must meet all their complex needs to survive. Economic behavior is a measure of societal behavior, especially family economics. To avoid economic problems within the family, people often choose to use credit services from loan shark. Due to various factors behind people's savings and loans, they agree to pay high interest rates as long as they can meet their needs. This study used a qualitative narrative approach. This study involved five informants, consisting of savings and loan service users and third parties.
