The first credit system was meant to help the average american afford a car.

Installment buying is instead of buying the product with credit and paying back the full amount at a later time, installment buying is where you have the product but pay portions of the full amount at decided times to fully buy the product. This affected modern economics because installment buying have been a big part for lower income families being able to afford tvs, refrigerators, dishwasher, ovens and many other appliances. source
