ver feel nervous handing over your credit card, hoping it won’t get declined?
Well, it turns out that when you use credit, you’re not just borrowing money, you’re borrowing trust.
The word credit comes from the Latin credere, which literally means “to believe.”
Why? Because when someone gives you credit, whether it’s a loan, a card, or just letting you pay later, they’re saying, “I believe you’ll pay me back.”
It’s not just money. It’s confidence in you.
So next time you check your credit score, remember: it’s not just a number.
It’s a measure of how much the financial world believes in you.
Fun Fact
That’s also why credibility and credentials come from the same root. It’s all about being trusted and believed in. Ancient wisdom, modern money.
