Study Notes
Credit and Trust
- Credit represents a form of trust established between a lender and a borrower.
- The lender's trust in the borrower is based on the borrower's ability and willingness to repay the loan.
- The borrower's ability to repay is a key factor in the lender's decision to extend credit.
- The borrower's willingness to repay is also a crucial factor in the lender's decision to extend credit.
- The borrower is expected to repay the loan, thereby upholding the trust established with the lender.
Taking on Debt
- When you use credit cards, loans, or other forms of credit, you commit a portion of your future income to repay the debt.
- This reduces the amount of money you have available to take on additional credit in the future.
- A larger portion of your income is already allocated to debt repayments, limiting your financial flexibility.
- Debt repayment commitments reduce your future disposable income.
