I'm fortunate enough to be able to pay off my credit cards bill every month. I find it interesting that they include this information in the monthly statement.

On a about a $2k balance

making only the minimum payment

with no additional charges

balance will be paid off in 17 years

with $3700 in interest

Unbelievable.

I wonder if the bankruptcy courts allow for paying of the filing fee via Visa card.

Friggin leeches I tell ya.

Yeah, screw the banks. It's all their fault their customers are fiscally irresponsible. How DARE they try to turn a profit?

I don't blame the banks at all ... people are idiots ... let them dig their own holes.

Thats actually a new law put in on Obamas credit card reform. I for one like it. Hopefully it will show people they are on a slippery slope if they are using their credit irresponsibly before they crash into bankruptcy.

^LOL

One can hope.

We need people to stop spending as much on credit card interest so we can raise their taxes and call it zero-sum.

If people are too figgen stupid to figure out paying 18% on an existing balance is bad, its financial Darwinism.

^ yeah, kinda like climbing a mountain with no water is eco-darwinism.

Absolutely correct.

^Which is why your candy ass turned around, right!??

Yep.

Smart enough to identifiy my limitations.

Maybe I should have just sat there, cried, blamed the mountain and demanded the gub-ment to help me.

Or told the guy who HAD water he had to share because you didn't have any.

WHERE'S YOUR COMPASSION FOR A THIRSTY MAN!?

There should be an entitlement program for people based on their skin color. If, at the beginning of the day, your skin is white, and twenty minutes later it is red, everyone on the mountain should be legally and financially responsible for providing that person water.

Because if you don't, the red-white man can become disenfranchised.

fuqed my financial self with credit cards at 18, learned my lesson and have never had one since......if I don't have the cash then I don't buy. 20%...eat a bag of dicks.
