When you don’t have a huge bankroll and you are starting out and trying to make it through school, knowing how to handle your credit is extremely important. It’s also very important for parents to try to teach kids about how to handle their credit before they take off for college. Student credit cards are available in all shapes, colors and sizes, and kids start getting offers sometimes even before they officially turn 18 and have left the nest. The problem is not getting a credit card, the problem is does the student know the responsibility of owning one.

Knowing the basics about developing good spending habits and paying bills in a timely manner is essential to having a good credit score. A good credit score means everything to your financial future. Once you ruin your credit score, it affects all financial decisions and opportunities that will come their way in the future. It will affect their decision to buy a car, a home, even the applications for Student credit cards or Student loans.

A bad credit score doesn’t necessarily mean that they will not be able to get what they are trying to purchase , but it will certainly mean one thing and that is that they will for sure pay more for that same credit than will a person with good credit. Bottom line, once you ruin your credit you pay through the nose. Just following some simple rules will ensure a good credit score.

  • Know your finances. How much goes in every month, how much goes out. If there is anything left, that’s how much you can spend.
  • Pay bills on time. Every time you are late, it goes on your record. You may not get a letter, but it still goes on your record.

Those 2 rules will keep your credit score good to go.

  1. Dewey Said,

    Good post! I know from experience that our school system is way behind on topics such as credit and personal finance. I own a company called Early Bird Credit Training here in MA. Convincing schools that their students need credit education is impossible. Half of the time they don’t even know what you’re talking about. We need some progressive thing in our school system if we are going to compete economically with other growing countries. Do you think China is using the same education platform as they did fifty years ago? We are! Check out http://www.EarlyBirdCredit.com there is more info on teaching young adults about credit.

  2. bibi Said,

    Totally agree with you that our young need to be educated about finances, and maybe not just the young. I’m sure that lack of education about personal finances is partially to blame for the mortgage problems we are having today or why the average family has 7-8 thousand dollars in credit card debt.

    Thanks for your comments…
