Episode: Credit Card Debt



According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York August 2014 Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit, total credit card indebtedness was $880.5 Billion with $15,607 being the average household credit card indebtedness. If you want to increase your household cash flow by 15%-20% here's a hint...... cut up your credit cards, pay off the balance, and stop paying the 15%-24% of daily compounding interest!!!

If you must use plastic, i.e airplane ticket, rental car, online purchase etc., use your bank debit card that has a MasterCard or Visa logo. The amount of protection offered by debit cards versus the level of protection offered by credit cards is identical, as mandated by the law and in common practice. Both debit and credit cards offer zero percent liability, meaning that all consumers who find themselves victims of card fraud will end up in the same place–their money will be refunded.
