A credit card is something you can use to buy things if you do not have any money of your own. You then pay the money back in instalments, or all at once if you want. If you take a long time to pay it back, you get charged extra money in the form of interest.

Eis forEarn

You earn something when it is given to you in exchange for your work. Most people earn money by working in their regular jobs. You can also earn someone's respect, or earn a medal because of your actions.
Insurance is something that you pay or put aside, usually to an insurance company, so that if something bad happens you are reimbursed for an agreed amount. For example, you might have an insurance policy on your car, so that if it is damaged beyond repair the insurance company gives you a new one.

Mis forMortgage

A mortgage is a debt that you repay to a financial institution such as a bank when you buy a house, if you do not have enough money to pay for it yourself. Mortgages are typically paid back over many years. Mortgages are secured by your house, which means the bank has an interest in the house and you cannot sell it and keep the money yourself, you have to pay the bank back first.
