Best credit cards, a world to learn about
It is all too easy to pay the minimum payments each month and keep increasing the balance. In a perfect world, all purchases made on a credit card would be paid in full each month. Doing so would mean that nothing would be paid in interest. Paying only the minimum payment each month means that most of that payment is interest to the bank, and does not pay down your balance. By regularly paying only the minimum payments each month and continuing to make purchases on those credit cards, a consumer can easily get stuck in a cycle of debt.
