We should go back in time and kill the clown who invented this BS. What's the logic behind it? This Dr / Cr nonsense is akin to saying some numbers are always negative and some are always positive. Sheer lunacy!
@@classicalwit Yes ! I totally agree ! This stuff is so dumb. If you have any understanding of numbers and words, this concept is offensive. Accountants suck. The only way I can make any sense of it is that they didn't know what the words meant. They just plucked some words that mean opposite things and applied them. Unfortunately for everyone else these words already had a meaning and now we're stuffed.
@@anthonygirdler606 Are you refering to how in accounting they call money coming debit and money out credit? which is the complete opposite of the words meaning. I'm struggling a lot with this at the moment too
I watched 100 videos until I got to this one, the only way to understand the debit and credit matter was through this video! You are the best! And thanks for the exam.
Omg, you just saved my life with this video. I could not find a video that I understood where debits and credits are concerned. Thank you so much for this.
Oh, my gosh... no joke, this video finally gave me the "a-ha" moment I've been looking for. I was starting to think I would never understand, and that maybe i just wasn't cut out for this career choice. This explanation was like turning on a light switch. Now I just get it. Can't thank you enough for putting this out there. A "thousand" videos try to explain this, and this is the only one that truly succeeds. Wish I had found it sooner.
Thanks for the clarity on the debit /credit issue!🙂💯 The terms seem so counterintuitive and it made my brain tilt! Until now! Yay! I've subscribed to your channel too!😁
you are amazing in explaining debit and credit. I was having hard time understanding the concept but thanks to you, I am starting to understand it. Thank you.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much for this explanation, have been looking at 13 videos today and you are the only one who has succeeded with explaining it in an understandable way! Many Many thanks to you!
That was so clear and usefull! Thanks. So basically everything is increased (go up) you just need to know to with account apply, referring to the abbriviation.
You are quite literally my super hero. I've watched so so so many videos and re-read my book several times about this subject, it just wasn't clicking at all. Thank you!!
Holy shit I’m so glad I played bball with this genius instead of us each taking our grad school final exams nearly 10 years ago because now we are both amazing teachers instead… That saying you were possibly thinking in response to this true lil totally is bogus btw yall, extremely relevant to this video in particular if you have any idea how expensive a masters degree is. Hell yeahI love accounting!!
I have a question. Why would the formula to get assets be written as liabilities PLUS owners equity . When it should be MINUS. In my head if I add up all liabilities and then I add my equity that’s adding when it should be minus your Liabilities from your equity.
So I am a big picture learner. I understand if you increase you "debit" and if you decrease you "credit" But why? It seems it would be the opposite. I know the RULES; I need some reasoning of why this is so I can completely understand. Thanks!
While trying to build passive income and prepare for retirement, It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold up in inflationary environments. To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I have seen people making up to $800k in a month during high-inflation
One strategy is to invest in assets that perform well during inflation. Another strategy is to focus on companies that have the ability to pass on price increases to their customers. It's also important to maintain a diversified portfolio. It may be a good idea to speak with a broker who can help you develop a customized investment strategy based on your individual goals and risk tolerance
@@MarcusFred-wn3iv I used to manage my stock portfolio by myself, all that time I did not make any significant returns (but also did not suffer losses). Then out of nowhere 2008 happened, and I lost 50% of my savings in a very short period. That prompted me to hire an FA, Since then I have been learning a lot about the stock market and I have made up to $500k in returns

I was having a really difficult time knowing what a credit and debit is. I thought I knew, but suddenly, I would be wrong on some of them. So I watched this video. Now I am even more confused.
This information keeps getting presented like it has to be memorized - why is that? Why won't anybody tell us the reason it is the way it is so we don't HAVE to memorize it? Is it because it's nonsensical and randomly assigned? Surely that can't be true...
One made up word from me here is DEALER first 3 DEA are debit i.e. Dividends, Expenses and Assets. last 3 LER are credit.. i.e. Liabilities, Equity and Revenues.
Yes. The words are English but the meanings depend on where you use them. For example Debit a debit account means the debit account increases. Credit a credit account means the credit account decreases.
This doesn't explain debits and credits from the perspective of the average person whose usage of the terms just doesn't match what accountants use - so it doesn't really help.
Another video that explains nothing, and just gives you stuff to memorize. Concepts exist for reasons, they are not arbitrary like presented in this video. Explain WHY a certain account is a credit or a debit account. Why give me some memorized shorthand when surely, these account types are not just selected randomly. Explain what exactly the words credit and debit even mean! It's impossible to find actual explanations on this; seems like all accountants are just mindless memorization drones.

Honestly, I have keep studied Dr and Cr for a month but finally, I understood that I am not an accountant person then I left it.
got a final tmwr and i started studying today
I signed up your course last night, I got the receipt email but I didn’t get my course access information email.
I understand that some are debit by nature and some are credit by nature. But what is debit and credit itself? What do these terms actually mean?
4:30 if I pay the debt (liability) with cash (asset) shouldn't the asset decrease because I used it to pay the debt?
That is correct. Thanks for pointing that out! I will be making a new debits and credits video soon 😎
@@Accountinguniv Thank you so much! I was so confused. I've started a bookkeeping course recently and these videos really help.
thankyou
I have a question. Why would the formula to get assets be written as liabilities PLUS owners equity . When it should be MINUS.
In my head if I add up all liabilities and then I add my equity that’s adding when it should be minus your Liabilities from your equity.
Company assets = Company liabilities + SHAREHOLDERS" EQUITY.
Shareholders.
4 years later 😭 thank youuuuu
would help if you put in the actual visual equation so we can see where the +s -s go on the A= L+S/E
Wouldnt cash as an asset be a Debit? So if youre buying a product, it would be a debit from cash?
When you receive cash, it is debited. When you pay with cash, it is credited 👍
when an asset increases it is a debit. whem you buy sonething you are decreasing cash so it is a credit.
New subscriber
may i ask if you earned revenue that means cash has gone up right? how come its a credit?
Will balance balance sheet by crediting revenue and debiting same amount fr9m cash a/c to balance asset and liability
youre goated 3 years later

why do we need to use words like debit and credit when you can just say up/down, increase/decrease.

Instead of CLRE,
Arrange,
Credit
Liabilities

Very confused. Something can't go up with a debit. That's not what the word means. It's like saying 5-3 = 8
Using an acronym doesn't help to explain the concept. It's just rote learning. Instantly forgettable if you lack understanding.
Yeap this is accounting.
Yes.
The words are English but the meanings depend on where you use them.
For example
Debit a debit account means the debit account increases.
Credit a credit account means the credit account decreases.
