icans a credit card is "coined freedom". It has had effect of increasing consumption possibilities for households by allowing them to purchase thousands of dollars of merchandise. ranging from autos. clothing, to electrical appliances.

Unfortunately the ease with which buyers can increase their purchase with credit cards have caused them to overlook the additional costs.Purchase on credit cards are postponed payments. Buy-now pay later encourages buyers to use credit cards ,extencively.Since the buyer is in effect borrowing money for a special purposer he must expect to pay an interest charge. Interest is the price of using money over a long period of time. A close analysis of the use for credit cards for heavy purchases will show that the buyer has added to the cost of making these purchases. It must also be kept in mind that unpaid monthly balances means added interest charges.

One of the arguments against the use of credit cards has been that those who do pay cash at the time if purchase finance the use of a credit card by another person.This is so, the argument runs, because the price of a product will include the cost of another persons use of a credit card.
