Why do credit cards let you pay the minimum balance?

Because minimum payments aren’t designed to help you get out of debt. They’re designed to keep you in it.

When you pay the minimum, most of your money goes toward interest, not the actual balance.

The debt barely moves, but you feel like you’re doing the right thing. That’s the trap.

Banks don’t want you to default, and they don’t want you to pay it off quickly either.

They want you paying interest for as long as possible.

This is how a small balance quietly turns into years of payments and thousands of dollars in extra interest.

If you use credit cards, always pay more than the minimum. Even a small extra payment can erase years of interest.

Minimum payments aren’t a safety net. They’re a leash.
