Understanding Credit Card Debt

Interest Charges

Credit card interest is typically compounded daily, which means your balance grows faster than with simple interest. Understanding how interest works is key to managing your debt effectively.

Minimum Payments

Making only minimum payments extends your repayment period and increases the total interest you'll pay. Even small additional payments can significantly reduce your payoff time.

Debt Avalanche vs. Snowball

The debt avalanche method (paying highest interest first) saves the most money, while the snowball method (paying smallest balances first) can provide psychological wins.
