Interest on debt, particularly from credit cards and loans, is a quiet financial killer that may have a huge impact on your finances. Here's how it works; view the video.
Compounding Interest: High-interest loans, particularly those incurred on credit cards, can quickly build due to compounding interest. This means that you pay interest on both the principal and the accumulated interest, creating a difficult-to-break debt cycle.
1. Minimum Payments: Many people make only the bare minimum of payments to cover their interest. This prolongs the debt and raises the overall amount owed over time, frequently resulting in financial difficulty.
2. Hidden Fees: Credit cards and loans frequently have hidden fees, such as late payment or annual penalties, which can increase your debt burden without your knowledge.

3. Impact on Credit Score: High levels of debt compared to your credit limit might lower your credit score, making it more difficult and costly to obtain new credit when necessary.
4. Opportunity Cost: Money spent on interest payments is money that could have been invested or saved, limiting long-term financial gain.
5. Stress and Anxiety: Carrying debt can cause financial stress, hurting your mental health and decision-making abilities, exacerbating your financial predicament.
To tackle this silent killer, consider making a budget, prioritizing debt repayment (using the avalanche or snowball method), and looking into consolidation or refinancing options to cut interest rates. Being proactive in debt management can greatly enhance your overall financial health.
