Wrap Up

This module described four negative aspects to consumer debt. It also contributed some ideas on how we can take charge of our own finances and have an impact on the nation's debt consumption.

Think back to how you answered the Initial Thoughts questions:

Should Teri buy a new car with a loan or buy a used car?

How does debt inhibit our ability to be generous to others and charities?

How does debt force us to pay too much for an item?

How does debt destroy the environment?

How does debt create a false outlook on economic growth?
