Pawnbroker
A pawnbroker is a person or business that lends money to people. Here's how it works: if you need some money, you can give an item of value, like a watch or a piece of jewelry, to the pawnbroker. The pawnbroker gives you money in return, and you agree to buy back your item within a certain time period. If you don't pay back the money in time, the pawnbroker can sell your item to get their money back.
