Credit wouldn’t exist without trust. Think about
it: Would you lend money to someone if you didn’t
trust her or him to pay you back? Probably not, right?
Credit works pretty much the same way. While you’re

to see, let’s think more about this credit idea.
It’s pretty easy to see how credit works on a
small scale. It’s not that different when you
borrow money from banks and credit card companies to
make bigger purchases, like a DVD player or tickets
to Investor Isles. They’ll lend you the money
too – as long as they trust you to pay them back
sometime in the future.
