Guinness, Ireland's dark, velvety meal in a glass, is launching a significantly lighter, blonder version of itself in a bid to try and appeal to American palates.

What is a balloon payment? Quite simply, a balloon payment is a lump sum payment that is attached to a loan. The payment, which has a higher value than your regular repayment charges, can be applied at regular intervals or, as is more usual, at the end of a loan period.
A big difference is that a balloon loan is usually setup so that your monthly payments are higher than a comparable lease payment and the balloon payment at the end is less than what the car is worth, so in most cases it makes sense to pay off the balloon payment and keep the car.
