Silent Killers
#1 Credit Card Debt

JIM CANNON

Boca Raton, FL—Credit Card Debt is at epidemic proportions. It affects more Americans each year than heart attack, stroke, and diabetes combined. It is a dangerous “silent killer” carried by most Americans.

How did all that debt get there?

For Sarah C., “it all started on campus the day I got my first credit card and charged $5 lunch because I didn’t have the money. It was so easy, I charged $132 by the time my first bill came around, and I still didn’t have the money…but the minimum payment was only $10…so I sent a check for $10 and hoped it would clear.”

Sarah found out the hard way—making the minimum payment would take 30 years to pay off that one lunch. That one lunch with interest now cost $15—or 200% in interest payments—that’s the silent killer.

Free spending consumers who have fallen into the debt trap have found relief by consolidating credit card debt with Home Equity Loans or Credit Counseling. Consumers who do not act quickly enough can create even more serious problems with the IRS or Bankruptcy.

Too Much Debt?

Do you carry more than $4,000 in Credit Card Debt?
Do you make minimum credit card payments?
Do you live from paycheck to paycheck?
Do you have checking, but no savings account?
Do you use a credit card because you don’t have the money?

If you answered YES to any one of these questions, you could be in danger of falling behind.
