Do it yourself (DIY) is the method of building, modifying, or repairing things without the direct aid of experts or professionals.

Academic research describes DIY as behaviors where "individuals engage raw and semi-raw materials and component parts to produce, transform, or reconstruct material possessions, including those drawn from the natural environment (e.g. landscaping)".

DIY behavior can be triggered by various motivations previously categorized as marketplace motivations (economic benefits, lack of product availability, lack of product quality, need for customization), and identity enhancement (craftsmanship, empowerment, community seeking, uniqueness).

Money is any item or verifiable record that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts in a particular country or socio-economic context, or is easily converted to such a form.

The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange; a unit of account; a store of value; and, sometimes, a standard of deferred payment.

Any item or verifiable record that fulfills these functions can be considered as money.

A debt generally refers to money owed by one party, the borrower or debtor, to a second party, the lender or creditor.

The borrower or debtor may be a sovereign state or country, local government, company, or an individual.

The lender or creditor may be a bank, credit card company, payday loan provider, or an individual.

Debt is generally subject to contractual terms regarding the amount and timing of repayments of principal and interest.

The term can also be used metaphorically to cover moral obligations and other interactions not based on economic value.

For example, in Western cultures, a person who has been helped by a second person is sometimes said to owe a "debt of gratitude" to the second person.
