I was reading the fine print on the back of a credit card agreement. Don’t ask me why that interested me, it’s not exactly fun reading. I don’t like to keep credit card balances; I really dislike to be in debt. But sometime I’ll post something I’ve been studying, a way for the credit card companies to pay me.
Anyway, the fine print on the back says, “As of November 17, 2006, the standard variable APR for purchases is 15.24% and the standard variable APR for cash advances is 23.24%. However, all your APRs may automatically increase to the 32.24% variable default rate if you default under any Card Agreement that you have with us.”
Gadzooks. Credit cards can be as high as 32.24%? That’s absolutely incredible.

That’s why I don’t have credit cards.

Just remember…they are not in business to do you any favors. It’s all about the money.

Yeah, but… I’m just astonished interest rates can go that high.

Credit cards used wisely can actually make you money. I pay off the balance each month and charge everything and earn points. I make $300-$500 in reward dollars each year.
