First Credit Card?

[Cafe Denise]

How old were you for your first card? Were you ready to have it?

 I've made sure to educate my girls even at their ages now so they'll be better prepared to avoid the same credit hole I stepped into.

I was in my early 20's! And NO! I was not! I don't think they should advertise for anyone under 21 actually!

Quoting bamababe1975:

 I was in college, 19 or 20, and definitely wasn't ready for it. My parents never talked about credit cards so I had no clue what I was getting into.

Me either! I ended up with 2! I was so confused and paid on one and not the other. Got into trouble! We do not use them anymore.

I was in my 20s and definitely wasn't prepared for the responsibility.

I was 20 and yes I was ready for it.

 I was 18. My parents got it for me under their name - just to help me out a bit. =)

I was 22 and married.  I was ready.  :)

I was 19 and not ready at all!!

I was about 19, one of my first mistakes.
