Credit cards: the greatest enemy of the saver.

Tweet sharing .
In a future article will analyze each and every one of the credit cards, even having differences, most have something in common, and it is that they are the worst enemy of a person who wants to save and 80% of cases, they areto cause number one of a family's economic problems, although curiously, few people realize this, even being drowned financially.

In more than one occasion you will be assaulted in the street, shopping centres and even your own bank to give you high card of credit "without costs and commissions". Lie!, that does not exist.

Credit cards They are distinguished by taking 4 pages of small print, a small print that if you read it and above all, if you are able to understand it, be never capable of activating your credit card.

No fees. You will find a section where it says in the small print: "no fees during the first year and must perform at least 2, 3, 5 a year" must monitor the interest, in some cases this card can cause an interest of around 30% (bordering on usury).Obviously all card carries an amount of maintenance that is around 70-100 euro / year, depending on type of card and accepted credit.These points are the least important, is in reality, what you should be very clear when you activate a credit card, really you don't have a card, but a personal credit with interest rates that cover the total of the debt quota.Translated into Spanish, if you let you carry by the low interest rate of 3% on your card, it is not problem if you only have a debt of 100 euros. the problem is when upload the debt to 2, 000-3 000€. You probably think that if your card debt amounts to 3,000€, with a 3% interest, pay only € 90. And indeed it is, unless observers that once you pay the 90€ on your card is recharged about 40€. That's why that financially to this product is called the "endless payment".And finally, as andstas cards function as a personal loan, if not to meet the payment, according to the clause of your signed contract, could be generating daily interest rates against you worth up to € 40 newspapers in concept of demand for payment, interests of delay, etc, etc, etc...United States opened a case against credit companies, because their sales strategy was looking for people who have already had cases of non-payment, so sought to offer the credit of a card to a family which in a few months could not to meet the payment of the fee for which ESA form, could receive up to 750% more than what they themselves had to pay, so it was much more profitable for the Bank or credit institution a delinquent than a good payer.Say that at trial not reached nowhere, since even knowing what was happening, nobody can prove anything or did not want it to demonstrate. However, if you want to have a sound economy, forget the credit.Buy only when you have the money to pay in cash, or when they try to cards which you abonas the total debt next month, but never a payment postponed.It is estimated that only in Spain there are activated more than 25 million cards, which if we put a cost of maintenance of € 1, we have EUR 25 million in benefits, of course, that the cost of maintenance of a card is not 1€, but about 70-100€ more the Commission that charge you the establishment where pay with the card, are talking about one of the many profitable banking business at the expense of the consumer.Tweet

Types of cards: credit, debit, pre-paid, Revolving...

Tweet sharing we will begin by analyzing all types of credit cards and ordenaremos them of less dangerous to more. I won't go into many details about the danger of credit cards that you can read it in our previous article and thus you will do an idea. Credit cards: the worst enemy of the saver.

We started:

0. Pre-paid bank cards: as in telephony, much of the banks already have available this type of card, which you can recharge from any ATM with the amount you want, which will be deducted from the account associated with the card. An excellent way to control what you spend and in case of theft, they could only use the available balance.

1. Debit card: this type of card is healthy, taking into account that this is a form of "pay cash" without having to carry cash on top. In how much you pay in an establishment is loaded to the associated account, so it does not maintain any type of debt. It is not a credit card and the maintenance costs are minimal even being negotiable with the Bank for lack of them, according to Bank and client that you are.

2.Tarjeta of deferred payment debit: are equally that current debit cards, unless the amount is not effective in your account until the chosen day. Of this type there are weekly, fortnightly and monthly. Let's say that everything you pay with your card for a whole month, load you it day one of the following month and interest-free. This type of card is highly recommended to get you out of trouble at any given time without adding you more debt to your personal finances.

3. Debit charge on credit cards: are the same as the charge with deferred payment, except for the amount you pay, you have the option to split it up into 3 months. If you pay € 150 in an establishment, automatically share is divided into 50€ x 3 months. The cost of this operation is usually minimal, that among other things, this type of card allows only a postponement of small amounts. The maximum credit is usually around 300€.

4. Credit card: as we speak literally a personal loan, with which you have a credit that you are using or blow either little by little in our previous article, this credit card. As you increase the credit, the interest is calculated on the total debt. It is the "endless payment" card. At the time that you start to use it, you probably observe that your economy will be more affected month after month, unless you choose the option of single payment the following month.

5. Cards "revolving": the most dangerous with total and absolute difference. It has all the ingredients to make you fall into infinite debt. This card allows you to have your money total or partial pay and defer debt in months or years paying a minimum fee each month and like the above, the interests are calculated on the total debt. As you go to pay the fee, your credit is will regenerate, so it tends to be pay the fee with the same payment for the previous quota. Not only is endless payment but that you can raise your debt perfectly in the case of a simple non-payment.

Out of this ranking of cards, there are others who were born to make purchases over the internet in a secure way, which function as a pre-paid card or disposable cards. These cards, call them "Pay pal" Although there are other names, are ideal when you decide to make a purchase on a web page but you don't want to give your account number or card number. Let's say that you enter a virtually anonymous purchase, taking your banking data secure as well as when you make or receive a payment via Pay pal.
