    Which of the following is a downside of credit cards?

    • They are small and easily lost.

    • They can help you establish credit.

    • Their interest rates are always 20% per year or higher.

    • They can leave you with a debt load that takes decades to pay off.

    Correct Answer
    A. They can leave you with a debt load that takes decades to pay off.
    Explanation
    Credit cards can leave you with a debt load that takes decades to pay off because they allow you to spend money that you don't currently have. If you are not careful with your spending habits and fail to pay off your credit card balance in full each month, the interest charges can accumulate quickly. This can result in a cycle of debt where you are only able to make minimum payments, prolonging the time it takes to pay off the debt. The high interest rates associated with credit cards further exacerbate this issue, making it difficult to escape the debt trap.
