This episode of The Receipt breaks down the minimum-payment box on a credit-card statement: why it exists, what it says about time and interest, and how a weakening dollar turns normal household pressure into high-interest revolving debt.

Sources include the Federal Reserve G.19 consumer-credit release, the New York Fed Q1 2026 Household Debt and Credit report, CFPB credit-card repayment disclosures, and FRED M2.
