Does the charge card work for you or do you work for your charge card? Many people’s reply to that enquiry will depend upon how they care for their “old plastic”, as charge cards are known.
Many people with burned fingers will tell you that they did not recognize that matters had become so foul till really late in the process, because most charge card offers try a great deal to sound like they are really executing a charity. Well, they are not! However, realize that this is not a hatred campaign against charge cards.
For certain they have their Advantages - in the United States of America if you wish to rent a car, you have to have a (major) charge card.
Just, think about this scenario:
You get an offer in your postal service that sounds good; perhaps it’s a new generation television set or an electric refrigerator. However, it costs $2000. Oh, but you have a charge card with a $5000 limit, and you at once buy your product. Commonly, here is how your repayment schedule will run down. Many charge cards charge a lower limit of total balance (commonly two percent) of the total per month. Presuming the rate of interest is eighteen percent and you decide to pay back the minimum amount of forty dollars, thirty dollars of that will go toward interest and only ten percent toward the principal balance. As a consequence, you will take thirty years to pay back and end up compensating the company over $5000 interest.
Appears very scary but it doesn’t have to be. The lesson of the example is:
Utilize the charge card the same way people handle skunks; very, very cautiously.
