What is Revolving Debt?

Revolving debt, like credit cards, has no set pay-off date. The downside is high interest rates and the possibility of increased debt over time. The good and bad: revolving debt is flexible, but can be expensive if not paid off properly. Common examples, meanwhile, include credit cards.

What is Installment Debt?

Installment debt is debt that has a fixed schedule. You need exactly when the debt needs to be paid off, while this form of debt also has lower interest rates. The good and bad: installment debt is structured and predictable, but can get difficult if you cannot pay off your designated installment loan at the specified time.
