Used sparingly and prudently, credit cards can be a useful financial tool. You can defer payments on purchases, get a comprehensive record of your purchases and spending history, and build your credit score by making timely payments.
On the flip side, though, credit card debt can be debilitating for people in Fort Worth. If you do not pay your balance in full every month, your debt can slowly but surely grow as interest charges increase. It may take years, even decades, to pay off an account if you only send the minimum payment every month. If you are late on payments, your credit score will suffer, and you will be faced with increasing fees — further inflating your debt.
Having a balance on your credit card is nothing to be ashamed of; in fact, the average credit card debt for U.S. residents runs in the thousands of dollars. But when this debt becomes unmanageable — often combined with
debts from medical bills, student loans and mortgages — there may be few options left to get out of financial trouble.
