Many people have turned to 'credit cards' as part of their financial life vest as they try to stay afloat during the pandemic. While it might seem like a quick and easy option to make ends meet experts say you're actually making it much worse.
The interest rates on credit cards are very high and of course, you have to pay it back. Not to mention the $1,200 stimulus check might have given some people the idea that they can add that debt and quickly repay it once things start to return to normal.
However, now we appear to be headed for another slowdown. Experts say if you're in a bit of a financial hole don't start repaying that debt just yet.
