If youre like most North American citizen today, you go straight through life carrying a fair whole of credit card debt. And if youre like most North American people, youre okay with that. 0 per month in repayments is fine, even if youre paying that much on three separate cards. Its doable you can afford it, if you have to. But heres the thing if you couple your credit card debt, you dont have to.
Do the math with me here: You have a Mastercard, a Visa, a inspect card and an American Express. Lets say with each of them youre supposed to pay 12% interest per year, (which would be generous many cards charge as high as 29% these days!) and the monthly minimum us approximately 2% of your balance that has to be paid back each month. Assuming you owe 00 on each card, thats a minimum cost on each card, or 0 per month before interest is even factored into your reimbursement equation. But if youre paying back per month on a card that you owe 00 on which charges 12% interest per year, youre paying 0 or over half your repayments in nothing more than interest!
