Dịch bài đọc:
Trước đây, người ta mua hàng hóa bằng tiền mặt. Họ hiếm khi vay tiền từ các tổ chức tài chính và chỉ khi họ đã tiết kiệm được tiền, họ mới mua những gì họ muốn.
Tuy nhiên, gần đây, đã có những thay đổi lớn trong cách mọi người mua hàng hóa. Trước hết, một số người trả tiền cho mọi thứ bằng séc, trong khi những người khác thích trả góp hàng tháng hơn là trả toàn bộ số tiền cùng một lúc. Tuy nhiên, hầu hết người tiêu dùng thích mua hàng hóa bằng thẻ tín dụng của họ. Nhìn chung, người ta cho rằng dung thẻ tín dụng rất có lợi. Ngoài sự tiện dụng, một số cửa hàng còn tặng điểm thưởng cho những người mua hàng, trong khi những tiệm khác giảm giá cho một số sản phẩm.
Mặt khác, thẻ tín dụng phải được sử dụng một cách khôn ngoan vì chúng có thể cũng có thể là thảm họa. Về lâu dài, người tiêu dùng nhận thấy rằng họ không thể làm gì được mà không cần thẻ tín dụng và liên tục phụ thuộc vào chúng, vì chúng là “tiền dễ kiếm”. Kết quả là, một số người mất kiểm soát tài chính vung tay quá trán và cuối cùng không đủ tiền để sống. Vì vậy, họ chìm ngập trong nợ nần và gặp khó khăn trong việc trả lại.
