We often let credit card companies take advantage without taking action. If someone pointed out you were being deceived, wouldn’t you want to address it? I know I would.

Credit card companies rake in $76.03 billion annually, with most of this coming from late fees, over-limit charges, and cash advance fees. They earn $29.2 billion from late fees, $15.2 billion from over-limit charges, and $3.04 billion from cash advance fees. This accounts for 62% of their revenue, excluding finance charges. Quite the profit!

This lucrative business model explains why companies can afford to send over 5 billion credit card offers every year?"equivalent to six offers per household per month. The $2 billion spent on postage might even be why our government doesn't scrutinize the credit card industry more closely.

Banks and retailers are eager for you to have their credit card because it boosts their profits. In 2001, Sears and Circuit City reported that more than half of their profits came from finance-related activities. This might explain why retailers aggressively promote their credit cards at store entrances, tempting you with special gifts or discounts. Yet, these so-called perks often lead to spending more due to finance charges.

While confronting these institutions directly might be challenging, we can fight back by championing the belief that "Cash is King." Using cash instead of credit can ultimately save money.

As we move forward, let's make personal money management a top priority. It's essential to start the year with a focus on better financial habits.
