The Borrow-and-Pay-Back Cycle:</h2> <p>Think of a credit card as a short-term loan. When you make a purchase, you&rsquo;re essentially borrowing money from the credit card issuer (the bank that issued your card). You then have a grace period (usually around 21 days) to pay back the borrowed amount without incurring any interest charges.</p> <p><strong>Example:</strong></p> <p>Let&rsquo;s say you buy a new phone for $500 using your credit card. You don&rsquo;t have to pay the $500 immediately. You have a grace period to pay it back later.</p>
