Understanding Credit Card Debt
How Credit Card Debt Works
Credit card debt is revolving debt with high interest rates. Making only minimum payments can extend payoff time significantly and result in paying much more in interest than the original balance.
Interest Calculation
Credit card interest is typically compounded daily based on your average daily balance. High APRs (15-25%) mean interest accrues quickly, making it expensive to carry balances month to month.
Payoff Strategies
• Pay more than the minimum
• Use the debt avalanche method
• Consider balance transfers
• Stop using the card while paying off
• Look for extra income to accelerate payoff
