Lesson 2:
Credit and Debt

-
Debt: a promise to repay money, in other words, a loan
-
Borrowed from a lender to buy good
-
Credit: reputation for paying off debts from a financial aspect
-
Makes you either more or less reliable to other potential lenders
-
Have you paid your debts in the past?
-
Reflected in credit scores
-
Some people choose never to take loans, therefore, no credit score
-
Can be stable, but can cause problems in future if you do want to borrow money
-
No financial reputation
-
No credit can mean no loan
-
Make small purchases on credit, pay back debts on time, maintain long credit history, and limit credit applications
