Loan – Being lent money to pay back later

Interest – The fee for borrowing the money

Annual percentage rate – If you borrow $10,000 at 10% interest annually. The loan will cost you $1,000 a year as long as you owe the same $10,000. The fee goes down as you owe less and goes up as you owe more.

- Loans

Charge card – Can be used like a credit card

Credit card – Borrowed money

Debit card – Money comes directly out of your account

BAD side of using credit cards is getting in debt. Bad side of using debit cards is if stolen… someone can clean out you’re entire bank account.

Making minimum payments prolongs the time it takes to pay off your debt. The longer it takes.. the more interest you pay.

Credit reports show your credit score and your credit history

You can reduce/ elimitate debt by paying it off ON TIME and as quickly as possible.

Geeezzz.. that was a long question!!
