I found this free credit card payment calculator on the web on procalcs.com .
Punch in the numbers and get shocked. Copy and paste all of the following link into your address field.

Do something for 2010 and call the credit card company and ask them to reduce your interest rate.
I put in $8000 owed @ 29.99% interest and paying $200/month and it calculated that it would take about 26 years to pay off and $56,000 in interest over that time. These are real numbers that should prompt someone to address their spending.
