Translate a Credit Card Statement Into Plain English

The statement arrives, you check the minimum payment, you pay it, you move on. This translates the whole thing: what you actually owe, what minimum payments cost you in years and interest, what the APR means in pounds per month, and one thing to do this week that cuts the total.

2. Explain what the minimum payment actually means: what paying only the minimum will cost in time and interest if the balance stays constant
3. Translate the annual interest rate (APR) into a monthly cost in pounds, based on the stated balance
4. Name one action they could take this week that would meaningfully reduce the total interest they pay

**Edge case handling:** If the statement includes a balance transfer or promotional rate period, flag when that period ends and what the rate will revert to.
