By choosing to pay just the minimal amount due on a credit card, you are delaying the remaining balance which incurs high interest rates from credit card firms.
Paying only the minimum amount due extends the time to pay off the debt and can lead to a financial trap.
Accumulating debt without repayment can have a cascading effect and make it harder to recover financially.
Paying only the minimum amount due can adversely affect the credit usage ratio, credit score, and may signal risky financial behavior.
