Credit Card

Transcript: This magic plastic card works by charging your bank account. When you swipe your credit card, the money gets charged. You need to pay back the amount in timely fashion to your credit company. Along with your initial charge; you must also pay interest. When Julia buys her new laptop, the money is not deducted straight from her bank account. She must off however much she can at the end of the month. When John buys his new awesome television he still has the same amount of money in his account, until he starts paying it off in a timely manner. More credit and More credit and MORE! How does this magic plastic card work? Some places have a fee that must be paid annually for the use of their plastic magic. Finance charges are for the borrowing of the money. This includes interest and service charges. The grace period is a period of time that is okay with the company and yourself before you need to pay interest. So when Julia bought her laptop, if she paid within seven days she would not be charged with interest. Being the amazing money worker she is; she managed to do so. John on the other hand had only three days and was in fact charged with interest. Annual Fee and other such Credit cards are considered to be revolving credit.. This means that once you have paid them off you can use it again and again and again and again and again and again and again. So once Julia has paid off her laptop in six months and is debt free- she can do the whole process over if she pleases. In a year and a half when John is debt-free, he too can start over. By: Jojo and Noa Lessons to be learned: When a credit is safe, or secured, it means that the account is backed up by a savings account. If it is unsecured or unsafe it is not backed up by anything. This could cause you to fall deeper and deeper and deeper into debt. (and deeper). Julia who has been using credit for quite sometime now know to secure her credit just in case. that way if she fails to pay... her credit score is saved! However John does not know to do this. Therefore when he accidentally misses his payment because he was in the hospital from a bad car accident (not his fault) his already low credit is further hurt and will be harder to make up. Applying ALWAYS PAY ON TIME: if you don't it will affect your credit score and cause you to pay more money for everything Be Wise! If you can't pay it back- don't buy. Never pay the minimum amount: it causes you to pay the maximum amount you possibly can to the credit company. It benefits them, but not you. INTEREST!! (and rates) Safe.... or Not safe (dun dun dun dunnnn) The company you use will send you e-alerts for what you need to pay them, how much you have spent, and just a reminder as to when you need to pay by. It also tells you the smallest amount you can pay per month. Because John was in the hospital, he couldn't afford to pay $75 that month. He received his alert and ignored it. He then got another one that held the amount in it and realized he could actually pay. he paid the smallest amount. However because he did this, it did not help him get out of debt and he had to make his payments late the next month, hurting his credit score even more. Julia saw her e-alert on her new computer. She realized she had forgotten about it and was quite thankful that they sent it. She paid the needed amount and continued on with paying off her debt with excellent credit. WARNING! Interest is the percentage you must pay to your credit company along with however much you borrowed. When Julia bought her laptop she spent/borrowed $700. She wants to pay this off over six months. She must then pay $117.89 to the credit company a month. The total money she then spent with interest is $707.34. That means she spent an extra seven dollars on interest rather than buying it all at once. When John bought his t.v. for a thousand dollars, he could only pay $75 a month. It would take him 17 months to pay off. He ends up paying $1,275 for the T.V. That is about 25% more than the initial amount. Julia and Jonathan: Credit decision John and Julia go into the bank. They both want to get a credit card. John has never had a credit card before, while Julia has had a couple. Julia has excellent credit score, but John does not. The accountant checks their credit report. Julia's is amazing. She has had credit cards and always pays them off on time. She is not in debt from her other credit cards and has an excellent credit score. However when the accountant looks at John's, there is no credit score. Julia receives her card with 3.6% interest. John has 23.66% interest. Now they have plastic, magic cards.
