The Cost of Doing Nothing: Why Hiring a Financial Coach Pays Off When You Have Credit Card Debt

When people think about hiring a personal finance coach, the first thought that often comes to mind is:

"I can’t afford it."

But here’s the real question: Can you afford to do nothing?

If you’re carrying credit card debt, every month that goes by without a plan is costing you—way more than you think. Let’s break it down.

The True Cost of Holding Credit Card Debt

Most people don’t realize how expensive their debt is because they only see the minimum payment. But let’s put it in real terms:

🔸 Average credit card interest rate (2025): 22%🔸 Balance: $10,000🔸 Minimum monthly payment (3% of balance): $300

➡ If you only make the minimum payment, it will take you over 20 years to pay off and cost you $15,000 in interest alone.

That’s right. $15,000 just to borrow $10,000.

And that’s assuming you don’t add more to your balance.

Now, let’s compare that to working with a financial coach.

The Cost of Getting Help vs. The Cost of Doing Nothing

💰 Hiring a Finance Coach:

✔ Creates a customized strategy to pay off debt faster

✔ Helps cut unnecessary expenses and free up money

✔ Provides accountability to stick to the plan✔ Improves money habits so you don’t fall back into debt.

💰 Doing Nothing:

✔ You continue paying high-interest fees

✔ Your debt keeps accumulating

✔ You stay in a stressful paycheck-to-paycheck cycle✔ No accountability, no strategy—just hoping things improve

If you keep making minimum payments, your credit card company is making thousands off of you—while your financial situation remains stagnant.

Which Investment Has the Higher Return?

Investing in a financial coach helps you break this cycle and actually see progress. Many clients I work with go from years of debt payments to being debt-free in a fraction of the time—saving thousands in interest along the way.
