Does any of this sound familiar?

Attacking Credit Card Debt Head On
  • The average American household has nearly $9,200 in credit card debt, according to CardWeb.com
  • The average interest rate runs in the mid to high teens
  • Many families are struggling just to make the minimum payments with no way out

Minimum Payment Maximum Trap
  • Take that national average, say $9,000 in credit card debt

  • Making minimum payments will add up to $13,000 of nondeductible interest alone and takes 31 years to pay off the balance!
