But, they are not your worst financial enemy.

Credit card companies love to add charges for many different errors on your part (and sometimes theirs). Late fees, over-limit fees, yearly fees, and returned check fees are just a few. They hike your interest rate if you looked cross-eyed on a Tuesday, or miss a payment (not just with them, but any creditor). Still, they are not your greatest financial enemy.

They turn easy money into easy debt; easy until it comes time to payrepparttar 111861 bill. Even here you will not find your greatest financial enemy.
