How Credit Cards and Interest Work


When it comes to credit cards, consumers are typically at a disadvantage. Interest rates—especially high ones—are designed to keep your debt outstanding and keep you making payments for what seems like forever. If you are unable to pay your card off every month, and are making the minimum payment due, your interest is stacking up and costing you a fortune. And if you forget a payment, your credit card company can hike your rate, creating an even greater burden.

High-interest debt coupled with paying the minimum amount creates a perfect storm for the average credit card holder…and a lot of profit for credit card companies. Overspending and not having a household budget can swallow consumers in a never-ending cycle. Knowing how credit cards and interest work is an important step to becoming debt free.
