"The Role of Self-Control in Reducing Risky Credit Behavior: A Wise Financial Management Strategy"

Abstract

Self-control plays an important role in financial management, especially in the use of credit. Individuals with good self-control tend to be wiser in using credit cards, avoid impulsive decisions, and consider future payment ability. Conversely, low self-control can lead to risky credit behavior, such as excessive credit card use that leads to financial difficulties. The ability to delay gratification and manage desires is a major factor in maintaining financial balance. Individuals who are able to control their spending are more likely to plan their budget well, limit their use of credit, and pay their bills on time. Conversely, impulsive decisions to use credit can increase the risk of unmanageable debt. The importance of self-control in financial management underscores the need for education and training that emphasizes financial planning and debt management strategies. By raising awareness of the long-term consequences of financial decisions, individuals can be more responsible in their use of credit, reducing the risk of future financial difficulties.
