    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.
