Too many young adults equate easy credit with free money—a misperception that can quickly saddle them with huge financial burdens and years of payments. This program examines the benefits of credit, as well as the not-so-obvious pitfalls, including variable annual percentage rates and paying only the minimum payment. In a culture where consumerism is king, a knowledge of credit is essential to staying out of debt. A Meridian Production. (11 minutes)
