The daily is a *blistering* 0.17%.


So what is the annual rate? Based on that alone it would be 85%.

If the annual rate on your credit card was 0.17% then would you consider
these numbers acceptable?

* Annual family income: $21,700
* Money the family spent: $38,200
* New debt on the credit card: $16,500
* Outstanding balance on the credit card: $142,710
* Total budget cuts so far: $38.50
