Quotes by Jonathan Morduch (?)

“Even more than savings, debt is freighted with moral baggage. We even use two different words for the same thing: credit and debt. When you apply for a loan, you fill out a credit application, while lenders make a decision to give you money based largely on your credit score. The most common borrowing vehicle for Americans is a credit card. If instead the process involved filling out a debt application, checking our debt score, and using a debt card, many of us might consider our actions differently.”
