Have you ever borrowed money?

Have you ever wanted to buy something, but didn’t have quite enough money? If you've borrowed money from friends, family, or anyone else and promised to repay them, then you are “indebted” to pay it back. This is called "debt."

Debt is money one person, organization, or government owes to another person, organization, or government. Typically, the person who borrows the money has a limited amount of time to pay back that money with interest (an additional amount you pay to use borrowed money).
