You know that feeling when you log in…
...And see the balance?
$8,000. $15,000. $25,000.
And you've been paying.
Every month.
On time.
Doing everything right.
But the number barely moves.
Here's what almost no one tells the woman who's been making minimum payments for years…
...The credit card companies are counting on you to keep doing exactly that.
For the next 20 years.
Let me show you why.
And what to do instead.
Here's the math they don't want you to see…
$20,000 balance.
25% interest.
Minimum payments only.
It'll take you over 20 years to pay it off.
Twenty years, mama.
Your debt would be old enough to have a high school diploma.
Old enough to get its own credit cards.
Old enough to rack up its own debt.
And you'll pay way more than $20,000 in interest alone.
Why do you think credit card companies love minimum payments?
Because every month you pay…
...And your balance barely budges.
It's like running on a treadmill.
Exhausting yourself.
Going nowhere.
So what's the first thing you should do?
Most people think it's throw extra money at the debt.
Hustle harder.
Pick up a side gig.
Cut everything fun out of life.
But here's the thing…
The very first thing you need to do isn't throw money at it.
It's understand where you're at.
And what your actual options are.
Because whether you're current on payments…
Just making minimums…
Or already falling behind…
That determines which path gets you out fastest.
You're not guessing.
You're not crossing your fingers.
You're mapping out what's actually possible for you.
Let me show you three scenarios…
Scenario 1: You're current, but only making minimums.
This is where most people are.
You're keeping up.
But barely.
And the finish line keeps moving further away.
Here's what makes sense:
Debt payoff strategies like the snowball or avalanche method.
Refinancing with a personal loan if you can get a lower rate.
Balance transfer cards if your credit is decent — some offer 0% interest for 12-18 months.
This gives you breathing room.
More of your payment goes to principal instead of interest.
Scenario 2: You're starting to fall behind.
Maybe you're a month or two late.
Or you can see it coming.
This is where nonprofit debt management can help.
They negotiate lower interest rates with your creditors.
Your rate drops from 22% to maybe 7%.
Your monthly payment might drop a little.
But the real relief?
Your payoff date.
Instead of 20+ years…
...You're looking at 3-5 years.
You stay current.
No falling behind.
No lawsuits.
Just a clear path to the finish line.
Scenario 3: You're already behind.
Not starting to fall behind.
You're already there.
This is where debt settlement or bankruptcy might make sense.
But it depends on your income, expenses, and cash flow.
Your creditor mix.
Whether you have assets to protect.
All of it.
Here's what you're smart enough to see…
There's no one-size-fits-all answer.
The best path for you depends on where you're at right now.
Not where you wish you were.
Not where you think you "should" be.
Where you actually are.
And most people spend years — even decades — making minimum payments…
...Before they realize they have alternatives.
Thousands of dollars going to creditors.
Actually, way more than thousands.
Americans spent $254 billion on credit card interest and fees in 2024 alone.
$254 billion.
That's not helping people.
That's profiting from them.
So here's what I'd do if I had credit card debt today…
I'd stop guessing.
I'd see my options.
All of them.
Debt management.
Balance transfer cards.
Consolidation loans.
Debt settlement.
Bankruptcy.
I'd look at the timeline for each.
The cost for each.
The credit impact for each.
And then I'd pick the one that gets me out cheapest, easiest, and fastest.
Based on MY situation.
Not someone else's.
Mine.
Here's how to do that…
We built a free calculator.
Takes about 2 minutes.
You put in your numbers.
You tell us your situation.
And we show you:
Estimated timeline for each option…
Total cost for each option…
Monthly payment for each option…
Credit score impact for each option…
All based on YOUR life.
It's anonymous.
You can see everything and decide for yourself.
Because you're smart enough to know what you don't know…
...And what you don't know yet is which path actually fits.
Don't let credit card companies keep you trapped for the next 20 years.
You've been carrying this weight long enough, mama.
Take the first step.
See your options.
Pick the path that works for you.

P.S. When you see your real timeline…
...The one that's 5 years instead of 20…
...You're going to feel something shift in your chest.
Because for the first time in a long time…
...You'll see the finish line.
I'll be here when that happens.
You're already doing the hardest part.
