I Was Enslaved by Credit Cards for 10 Years

"I Was Slaved by Credit Cards for 10 Years" is a documentary work that directly faces the financial difficulties of contemporary people. In the summer of 2015, the protagonist applied for his first credit card to fill the mortgage gap, and since then fell into the trap of collusion between consumerism and the financial system. From the self-deception of "short-term turnover" to the debt snowball of "removing one wall to pay for the other"; from the surge in the proportion of hedonic consumption to 45%, to weaving lies to family members in order to maintain a refined life - this book reveals in a delicate way how credit cards alienate people's values ​​​​through the "painless consumption" mechanism. This is a sample of a generation's survival in the midst of credit expansion and materialistic carnival. It is also a warning to everyone struggling between bills and desires: when "minimum repayment" becomes the norm in life, we have already lost the dual freedom of finance and life in the gentle trap.
