Credit Card Debt

Credit card debt is a much discussed topic in both commercial and social circles. A big proportion of the population has has gotten itself into trouble with credit card debt.

The main reason for so many credit card related casualties is that many people don't understand the concept of credit cards correctly. They treat credit cards as free money. So all the discipline, which would otherwise have been exercised when spending hard-earned money, goes by the by.

Which means that people overspend and get into credit card debt. They keep spending till they arrive at the credit limit on their credit card. Some people treat it like a game and consider it a defeat (or consider their credit card under utilised) if they don't hit the credit limit quick enough. These unnecessary spends result in a state where they are not able to pay back their credit card debts and end up paying interest on the amount they owe.

This keeps increasing their credit card debt and they soon find that the interest constituent has become a standard feature in their monthly expenses and it is there even if they spend nothing on their credit card. That is credit card debt at its worst. Soon they find that their current credit card can no longer handle their needs and they commence looking around to get another credit card.

With the additional credit, they let themselves free again and follow a shop till you drop routine. In a little while the credit limit of the new credit card is reached as well and they again shirk on payments. This is how credit card debt accumulate.
