Credit
Credit is The ability of a customer to obtain goods or services before payment, based on the trust that payment will be made in the future.
The credit bureau gives credit scores through credit reports. These reports prove your credit worthiness. These are based on bills paying habits.
There are several forms of credit:
- Credit cards are what they sound like. These cards lend short term loans based on credit history from lenders like banks
- Debit cards, similar to credit cards, these cards pay with cash in your account.
- Cash, bills, moolah, bucks, shillings, simmoleans, change, coins...
- Personal loans establish consumer credit that is granted for personal use; usually unsecured and based on credit.
Beware of the interest as it accumulates over time. This is a percent interest that adds onto debt. This is what lenders make their money of off.
