    Why don't you just join the Army? They have free room and board, and you can spend all your pay on anything you want.

    I DID do the math. $24.31 on $300 is a little over 8%. But that's for 10 DAYS!!!

    You think a credit card is bad? You just paid an annual percentage rate of over 243%. More than 10 times that 21% that seems so high on your credit card.

    If you had been able to put the $300 on a credit card and pay it in ten days you would probably have paid no interest. If you had paid 21% for 10 days the interest would have been about $2.10.
