Credit Cards Buy now pay later

Objective: Include the cost of credit in weighing the expected costs and benefits of a purchase. People who make good choices attempt to weigh the expected costs of a decision against expected benefits.

Advantages Use a good or service today and pay for it later. Acquire assets such as a college education or a home. Help with an emergency. Take advantage of a unique opportunity to buy. Pay back with cheaper dollars in a time of inflation.

Disadvantages Loans have to be repaid with interest. Convenient credit might encourage impulse buying. People may use too much credit in relationship to their income. Poor credit use can harm credit ratings and make credit more expensive in the future.

Consumer Credit Info Credit cards enable people to obtain instant loans from banks, gasoline companies, department stores, and other retail businesses. Most credit cards come with limits as to how much a person can borrow. Most credit cards allow for cash advances, and most charge a fee (up to 4 percent) for cash advances. Interest charges on credit-card debt can be as high as 26 percent. The owner of a credit card is liable for up to $50 for unauthorized charges.

According to a recent issue of U.S. News and World Report, the typical American has between one and three credit cards and owes credit-card balances of approximately $8,000. Most Americans save very little, if any, of their disposable income. The credit-card debt of low-income families continues to rise.

Ask yourself “Can I pay for this credit purchase if I lose my job?” “What will happen if I don’t make my credit payment on time?” “All things considered, do the expected benefits from a credit purchase outweigh the costs?”

Think before you buy Create a realistic budget and stick to it. Charge only those items you can reasonably afford with your basic income. Avoid joint obligations with people who have questionable spending habits. Start an emergency fund savings plan.

Think before you buy Don’t think you will save money by borrowing more. Pay off high-interest credit-card balances. Don’t impulse buy. Calculate the cost of using credit before you decide to buy.
