Comments on: Credit Cards And College Students: A Bad Mix? http://amateurassetallocator.com/2010/03/24/credit-cards-and-college-students-a-bad-mix/ Amateur Asset Allocator Tue, 22 May 2012 02:58:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Meghan Fife http://amateurassetallocator.com/2010/03/24/credit-cards-and-college-students-a-bad-mix/comment-page-1/#comment-8032 Meghan Fife Wed, 24 Mar 2010 22:56:59 +0000 http://amateurassetallocator.com/?p=4256#comment-8032 Exactly--it's all about education. Credits can definitely be a bad mix with college students but if they're educated and have the money to pay the balance off monthly can be a great thing. As a 20 year old sophomore in college I didn't get a credit card until I had a job and had read up on them A LOT. And it's not just about credit cards--about all things personal finance. Because it all links together. And for someone who wants to live a successful life the right decisions must be made today. It's my hope I can help other young adults get their finances in order and make smart decisions for the future. Thanks for the post! Exactly–it’s all about education.
