Pro Tips
What is APR?: APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It is the yearly interest rate you pay on your credit card balance.
How can I pay off my credit card faster?: The most effective way is to pay more than the minimum payment. Even a small increase in your monthly payment can significantly reduce the total interest paid and the time to payoff.
What is the 'Debt Avalanche' method?: The Debt Avalanche method involves paying off the debt with the highest interest rate first while making minimum payments on other debts. This minimizes the total interest you pay over time.
