The Numbers Don't Lie!
If you have noticed by paying the minimum payments or slightly over that you have still failed to get any closer to becoming debt free, here is your wake up call! It can take you years to pay back and cost you thousands of dollars in interest alone to pay off your credit cards. If you only make minimum payments on $15,000 in credit card debt, at a 19.0% interest rate, it will take you over 48 years to pay it off and over $40,000 in interest!
