Shepard has a good point--why is it that we have classes on other life skills in high school, but not on finances? Even in college, shouldn't a good personal finance class be part of a student's education?

Is this helpful?

Hi there!
Im new in this site!
I agree with Ms. Blumenthal. A credit card for teenagers and/or young adults is NOT an accident waiting to happen, as long as the parents and the child have good communication regarding money matters. But that is assuming that the parents themselves have a good handle on their finances.
Good Luck!...
