It is very easy to find yourself drowning in credit card debt. When you obtain a credit card there is usually an introductory interest rate anywhere from 0%-2%. Unfortunately, most people do not take the time to read the fine print on the customer agreement form. This introductory interest rate will only last for a short period of time and then it will sky rocket to around 18%. If you only make the minimum payment on a one thousand dollar balance, with an 18% interest rate, it will take you ten years to pay off the balance. Credit cards can also be addicting. Most consumers have three, four and sometimes as many as five credit cards.
