Socratica Presents SMART MONEY
Many people are embarrassed that they aren't great with money. We believe it's never to late to learn! We're all about Lifelong Learning here at Socratica, and we are here to help you increase your Financial Literacy.
The theme of SMART MONEY is making informed choices.
In this video, we discuss your two big options for making purchases other than using cash: Debit or Credit. What's the smart choice, here?
First, we'll make clear what each of these options are. A debit card offers you access to your own money. It's in an electronic form, so you can buy things online, unlike with cash. Meanwhile, a credit card is essentially a loanโwith very bad terms if you don't pay your bill in full at the end of the month.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. There's far less risk of going into debt when you use your debit card. But using a credit card is a convenient way to make those big purchases you need (like computers, appliances for your home, plane tickets) without having to have that much cash money on hand immediately. You can also build your credit when you use your credit card.
But there's a big downside to credit cards. If you can't pay off your credit card in full, you'll be charged interest based on the balance due. And that's a fast way to get into debt.
To avoid any issues with either, we end the video with some tips on how to use these tools responsibly.
