The bartering system is bad because the item might not me valuable.
I would like to buy that magazine for $1.25
I love exchanging money because its durable
I want this candy bar for $2. I am going to use a check because they are easier to use.
Thank you for your purchase but checks are bad because they aren't suitable for small amounts.
Today I am paying with a card that takes money straight from my checking's account. Its called a debit card and its great!
As a business owner I much rather have people pay with a debit card instead of a check because I can get the money immediately.
Wow!
An ATM is basically a portable bank that you can take money in and out with a debit card. The ATM requires a 4 digit code also known as a PIN that only you know that protects your account. Some ATMS charge you when you take money out.
Can I have those pants for $25? I am paying with a credit card because I don't have the money right now. At the end of the month I pay an interest fee to pay them back.
Sure
Can I apply for a loan for this car? I have a really good credit score because I pay my bills on time.
