Are You Making Only the Minimum Monthly Payments on Your Credit Cards?

Many households are burdened with large amounts of credit card debt, so if you are in this same predicament, you're not alone.  Traditionally, people have used their credit cards as a crutch, but over time, they have depended on them so much for one reason or another such as a job loss, drop in income, increased expenses, etc.  And during that time, the common thought is that they will be able to payoff their credit cards over time.  However, in most cases, this thought has been flawed.

Here is a link to a Calculator that will calculate how long it will take for you to payoff your credit card debt if you are only making the minimum monthly payments.  Try it out for yourself and you will find the results are staggering!
