Love Your Credit Union You know that you can use money to buy things you

really want or need. But sometimes, instead of paying

with cash, you might see adults paying with a credit card.

What’s the difference between cash and credit cards?

Cash is Money You’ve Already EarnedYou earned the money in your piggy bank or bank

account. That money belongs to you. When you pay with

cash, you’re using money that you have today.

Adults Borrow Money with Credit CardsSome adults use credit cards to borrow money to pay for things. Usually, they do

this when they don’t have enough money saved up to buy the item, but they need

or want it right now. Let’s say that the roof leaks, and the family doesn’t have

enough money to get the roof fixed. But the roof needs to be fixed right away.

If your parents use a credit card to fix the roof, they’re really borrowing money

from a bank or a business. If they don’t pay the money back quickly, they will have

to pay the bank or business extra money. When banks lend people money, the

bank charges people for that money and that charge is called interest!

Smart people pay borrowed money back as soon as they can. Maybe they take

money from their next three paychecks. Until they pay back the money they owe,

they don’t spend on anything “extra.” The sooner that people pay off the money

they borrowed, the less “extra” money, or interest, they owe the bank.
