Good advice because once people start to see the effects of a high APR then they will think twice about ever carrying a balance in the first place! I use a cash back credit card but just pay off the balance in full each month.

Hey, thanks for dropping by. That is exactly right, even if the $1.04 only takes $1.04 off the debt it still helps to keep one motivated towards a goal, shrinking that huge weight on one’s shoulders.

Great comprehensive post! It’s easy to dismiss the impact that $1.04 can have on your debt pay-down, but every bit does truly help. To your point, staying motivated and focused on your goal is essential to success.
