What are some of the most common types of
debt?
Types of Debt:
● Secured Debt: utilizes a form of collateral, like a house or car
● Unsecured Debt: has no collateral, like credit cards or
personal loans
● Fixed Interest Rate: has the same interest rate for the entire
timeline of the loan, like a mortgage
● Variable Interest Rate: the interest rate may change over the
life of the loan, like credit cards
● Fixed Payment Term: the loan is set to be paid off by a
certain date, like a mortgage or student loan
● Variable Repayment Period: There is no set date by when
the debt must be repaid.

How can creating a budget help? Any advice on
creating a budget?
Give all of your money a job. If you
know where each dollar needs to go,
it’s harder to spend it without
thinking.

Budgets are simple- income minus
expenses. Don’t overcomplicate it.

What should people know about debt (and how
it impacts credit scores)?
Debt is not inherently bad. To have a
good credit score, you need to
borrow money and pay back debt
wisely.

you purchase on a credit card more
