Rack Up

Bills can really rack up if you're not careful with your spending....

Time to rack up on those credit cards

We use the phrasal verb rack up when we're accumulating up in something. It can be usually refereed to as a debt in some cases. 

• We can rack up on our phone bills
• We can rack up on our credit card bills

We can rack up just about on anything that can accumulate over time.

Usually we don't do this on purpose, but by accident. Maybe it's something we just didn't notice on time. Maybe we were fooled our misguided.

Those cell phone bills in Canada can really climb on you sometimes. They know how to get you, and can easily rack up over time.

Often when it comes to credit cards, people rack up one credit card after another because credit in Canada is easy to get. In post soviet countries, access to money is becoming more easier, but people just don't understand the repercussions when you don't know your limits.

I think the main problems in so-called first world countries like Canada, is that we have too many options when it comes to getting a credit card in the first place. From bank credit cards, to store credit cards, the excuse is that I'll always pay it back later.....
