On credit
It used to be that people saved for a rainy day, now many people simply 1) reach for their credit card. Credit is something that was almost unheard of in the past. If someone couldn’t afford something they went 2) without. It People saved up for whatever they wanted to buy, by putting their money into the bank or even under the mattress, until they had enough. However, much of the modem world’s economic growth has been largely 3) due to a system of credit enabling people to buy goods and services and pay for them later.
The trouble with credit is that some people 4) borrow more than they can pay back. It is a particular problem when the interest rate goes up and people find they cannot afford the repayments. In some cases they end 5) up owing considerably more money than they borrowed in the first place, because of the interest charges. Some people are nervous about 6) falling into this trap. They refuse to use credit at all for goods and services and always pay in cash. However, 7) even these people may have a mortgage, which is a loan to buy a house. Many people see buying their own house as an investment for the future that will protect them from a rainy day in every sense!
