Money Tips
Good Credit
Do you have it? Do you want to have it?
Developing good credit habits at an early age in your financial life
will save you much grief and trouble later. For most young adults who
still live at home this means the wise use of a credit card. When you
turn 18 and have a job or go to college, you can get a credit card. The
maximum you can charge will be usually $500 to $1000 dollars if this is
your first card and is only in your name. However, you might be able to
get more than one card and therein could lay temptation.
To have good credit means that you pay your bills on time. You pay:
- your phone bill
- your rent
- your utilities
- your car payment
- your credit cards
Teen Money Tips
In 2006, consumers paid an estimated $17.5 billion in overdraft fees
for their checking account, according to the Center for Responsible
Lending. Try to use a bank that doesn't charge overdraft fees or will
link it to your savings account and take the money from there - without
charging you a fee to do so!
Even if you pay your credit card in full each month, if your credit
card company sends you a notice that they are raising your interest
rate, call them up and request to remain at the lower rate. They will
probably comply as they do not want to lose the relationship they have
with you. And some day you may need to carry a balance.
Read one article a month from a financial magazine: Kiplinger's, Money,
Smart Money or one on the web. At the end of a year you will have

Did you know that if you buy something at a department store and the
next week the item goes on sale, you can bring your receipt (and
sometimes you have to bring the item as well) for an "adjustment" aka
money back to you from what you paid and the sale price?
The above might not work at electronics stores (like Best Buy) as they tend to charge a restocking fee.
