One study found that credit card use triggers our brain's reward system, "encouraging more reckless behavior and more purchases." To avoid falling into the trap of overspending, spend wisely and always keep your bank account balance in mind.
Check out key expressions from the material.
- balance: the amount of money available in your bank account; ์์ก
- defaulted: fail to fulfill a financial obligation; ์ฒด๋ฉ๋

Here's a great way to practice listening and summarizing passages. This time, practice with the Gen Z Homebuyers and Tipping Culture passages. Work with a tutor and before you know it, you'll be speaking English with even more confidence. |
