    What's the APR on your credit card?

    I read an issue of "Budget Living," and it said the average APR should be around 13%. If you are paying any more than that, you are being ripped off. One of my cards has an 11% APR and the other has an 18% APR (ouch!). I will only be using the first one from now on.
