Credit card debt is the most dangerous debt in retirement.

Not because of shame.
Because of math.

At 18–29% APR, the balance compounds *against you* faster than almost any investment can grow *for you*. Minimum payments can keep you in debt for years — and the interest alone can erase the money you planned for travel, healthcare, or grandchildren.

This is Segment 3 of Series Zero, Chapter 2: The Debt-Free Retirement Doctrine.

In this segment you will learn:

• Why credit cards are different from a mortgage
• The real cost of minimum payments (how $10,000 can cost another $10,000 in interest)
• The balance-transfer traps (fees, reset dates, new-purchase rates)
• How to ask for a lower APR
• Avalanche vs snowball — and which one you will actually finish
• Why paying off the card is often a guaranteed 20% return

📌 Do this while you watch:
Write down every card: issuer, balance, APR, minimum payment. Circle the highest rate. That card is priority one.
