Some people have a great time charging up their credit card balances. They live life to the fullest, using their credit cards to live beyond their means to buy fancy dinners, a nice vacation and expensive clothing they could not otherwise afford. Others fully intended to use their credit cards responsibly when they opened their account. They may have only applied for a credit card for use in emergency situations. However, emergency after emergency cropped up, and the debt balance grew. Regardless of how you accumulated credit card debt, one thing is for certain. Now this debt needs to be paid off.

Let’s say you want a new car which costs $15,000 and you want to pay for it in cash, no more loans for you. You only have $4,000 in savings though. So you’re $11,000 short. When will you have enough for the car? How much can you save per month?
