More About Payment

Long ago, people did not use money. They would trade things like food or tools. This is called bartering. Now, we use money to make it easy. It helps us buy what we need.

We use payment every day. When we go to the store, we pay for food. When we want a toy, we pay for it. Payments help us get what we want.

In the future, we might pay with our phones. It could be fast and fun! We will still need to pay for things we want.
