If you decide to pay the minimum payment due on your credit card, there are a few problems regarding interest and when you'll pay it all off that you need to consider. It's not the end of the world if you make minimum payments, but it's not something you should do unless you have no other choice. Paying the minimum will avoid late payments and bad reporting on your credit score, but you'll be wasting so much money on interest if you choose the minimum path.
