What is Credit card?

Personal money

A card that lets you borrow to pay now and settle later. If you don't pay the full bill each month, interest builds up fast.

Think of it like: A short-term loan in your wallet.
Real example: Many credit cards charge 20% a year or more on unpaid balances, far more than a savings account pays.
Lesson: Good debt, bad debt
