Citing a hypothetical example, a booklet published by the Federal Trade Commission and American Express notes: “If you have an outstanding balance of $2,000, with 18.5% interest and a low minimum monthly payment, it would take over 11 years to pay off the debt and cost you an additional $1,934 just for interest, which almost doubles the total cost of your original purchase. ”
इतना ही नहीं, सिर्फ ब्याज चुकाने के लिए ही आपको 1,934 डॉलर और देने पड़ेंगे, और यह रकम उस रकम से करीब दो गुना होगा जो आपने खरीददारी में लगाया है । ”
