+* Write a program to calculate the credit card balance after one year 
+* if a person only pays the minimum monthly payment required by the credit
+* card company each month.
+*
+* Use raw_input() to ask for the following three floating point numbers:
+*
+*   1. the outstanding balance on the credit card
+*   2. annual interest rate
+*   3. minimum monthly payment rate
+*
+* For each month, print the minimum monthly payment, remaining balance, 
+*   principle paid in the format shown in the test cases below. 
+* All numbers should be rounded to the nearest penny. Finally, print the result,
+*   which should include the total amount paid that year and the remaining balance. 
+*
+*   - Minimum monthly payment = Minimum monthly payment rate x Balance
+*       (Minimum monthly payment gets split into interest paid and principal paid)
+*   - Interest Paid = Annual interest rate / 12 months x Balance
+*   - Principal paid = Minimum monthly payment – Interest paid
+*   - Remaining balance = Balance – Principal paid
