Matt F. asks...
“How do credit cards work?”

KD: Paying for something with a credit card is basically like taking out a loan (borrowing money) from the bank. If you go out to a restaurant for a meal and pay with a credit card, the bank pays the restaurant the money you owe. You are then required to repay the bank back within a certain number of days. If you can’t pay the bank back the full amount you owe, you can make a partial payment, but you will be charged interest (fees) on the unpaid amount, which is how banks make money for giving out these loans.
