I have about $3,500, unfortunately. However, at my peak it was $12,000. Not so great! I charged almost everything in college because I didn%26#039;t have a lot of income coming in.

Over the past few years, low minimum payback rates of between 2 and 2.5% have encouraged Americans to spend, spend, spend -- and to rack up an average credit card debt of close to $10,000 per household. For the estimated 40% of cardholders who carry a balance from month to month, the low minimums free up cash. But paying off a big charge little by ever-so-little also means that a $1,000 debt can turn into a 22-year commitment -- and that you%26#039;ll accumulate thousands more in interest in the meantime.
