Task
#4:
It's a big step heading off to college. It's another big step entering into the world of financial
management and credit financing.
- As a graduating high school student, you will be targeted
by credit card companies on the
"EASE" of using and having your
own credit card.
Think about it! Your own personal card
to buy pizza, clothes, gas, music —
you name it — without having to
pawn money from your parents.
The credit card charges will come due
in about 25 days. And if you are like
most students, you
won't have have enough money to
pay your credit card off.
No problem!, say the credit card companies.
Simply pay the minimum payment (which
will be very low) and continue
using your card up to your available credit
line limit.
- That is where the credit card companies
entrap you — they want to keep you
paying that low minimum payment from month-to-month.
By paying just the minimum payment each
month, it will take
you about 23 years to pay off your credit card balance.
Now you can see why credit card companies
want YOU as their customer.
