- When you have a job and you get paid it is called an income. If you get a weekly allowance for doing chores, the money you get is your income. You may also get money for your birthday or on holidays, this is also part of your income.
- The income (money) that you save is called a savings.
- You can use your savings to pay for the things that you need or want.
- It is important to spend your money wisely and place as much as you can in your savings.
- Did you ever want to buy something but didn’t have the money? Sometimes when we want to buy something but we don’t have the money we save up to buy it. Sometimes we take out a loan.
- A loan is money that you borrow from another person or organization such as a bank that you have to pay back.
- The money that you borrowed, is now a debt that has to be paid back.
- When you have a loan from an organization such as a bank or credit card company you usually have a time period in which you are expected to pay all the money back. While your paying the money back, you often have to pay an extra fee. This is called interest. The faster you pay the loan back, the less interest you have to pay.
- When you pay back all the money you owe from a loan, your credit goes up.
- Credit is basically how much a person or organization such as a bank trusts that you will make good choices with your money and pay money owed back when your supposed to.
- If you always pay the money you borrow back on time, the banks will trust you and you will have good credit.
- If you do not pay back the money you borrow when your supposed to, the banks trust you less and your credit goes down. This makes it harder to get loans and sometimes even a job.
- Having good credit makes it easier to take loans from organizations and banks.
