Opening Activity

• "If goods were sold only for cash, prices would be lower and everyone would be better off."
• "If I can't pay for something, it means I can't afford it, so I won't buy it." 
• "I buy on credit whenever I can because credit increases sales and is good for businesses."
• "You should use credit sometimes: it helps you establish a credit rating, which may be useful in case of an emergency." 

I agree sort of agree with the following statements because on the second sentence, its true that some people won't pay for stuff if they can't afford it. I also believe in the first sentence because everyone would be happy if the goods that they need were lower prices. I don't really agree on the third sentence because if you buy your stuff on the credit card, then you would have to pay your interest and such so it wouldn't be as good for you, but it would be good for those businesses because it would make them more money. I agree on the last sentence because sometimes you should use your credit card and it may be useful in a situation where you don't have money to pay your things.
