Understanding Credit & Debt

Credit means that you are using someone else’s money to pay for things you need or want. You are making a promise to pay back the money.

Debt is the amount of money you borrowed plus interest and fees. Debt payments usually include both principal (the amount you borrowed) and interest (the additional dollars you pay for borrowing the money).
