Till Debit Tears Us Apart

Credit and Debit in this society mean the exact same thing.

DEBT

Double-entry bookkeeping has two equal and corresponding sides known as debit and credit. The left-hand side is debit and the right-hand side is credit.

Credere - Trust or entrust - Full - Definitions:

  1. Be indebted/responsible for/obliged/bound/destined
  2. Ought, must, should
  3. Owe

Debere - Should or Owe - Full - Definitions:

  1. Believe/think/accept as true/be sure
  2. Lend (money) to, make loans/give credit
  3. Http://bit.ly/Debit1828websters

This is not related to credit cards. To put the definitions above in context, debit can act as an addition as well as a subtraction & credit can act as a subtraction as well as an addition. This may seem confusing but overall they both account for you having less than what you started with.

For a simplified example:
  • Having cash in your hand is an asset or rather a credit. Why? Because you can trust it is in your hand at the time. If you deposit the same cash it will be considered a debit. Why? Because the money is owed to you since you lent it to the bank. When you want to use some of the money that is available to you inside of the bank accounts' balance, your money will be debited to you once it is credited from you. OR the money can be credited to you while being debited from you.
There is a rich past that accounts for systems prior to the 1400s and the United States utilizing similar systems. Since the implementation of federalized governing by British colonists during the 17th,18th, and 19th centuries. Credit and debit are both considered as debit, but instead, since November 24th, 1936 (Social Security Act) you are born into it.

The Equal Credit Opportunities Act supposedly keeps you safe from predatory lending as well as discrimination, but there is a systematic form of industrialized racism deeply embedded in this system we are in. Credit redlining is the illegal discriminatory practice that puts services (financial and otherwise) out of reach for residents of certain areas based on race or ethnicity. It can be seen in the systematic denial of mortgages, insurance, loans, and other financial services based on location (and that area’s default history) rather than on an individual’s qualifications and creditworthiness. Notably, the policy of redlining is felt the most by residents of minority neighborhoods.

It is imperative to understand this for yourself, so please do not just take our word for it and utilize what was mentioned. Financial literacy is key so your future is not a reflection of the past many of us have suffered through.

With states like Texas, Mississippi, Iowa, Montana, and North Dakota removing their mask mandates, many have taken to social media to voice their opinions without any credible information. Just fear and anger.
