Default Re: Credit Cards and Youth

I agree with CRF, as usual.

The key is to teach them by example. You should talk about money with them. Talk about the strategies you as parents use. Give them books to read (and maybe even incentive to write a book report about it). It's up to the parents.

In spite of the best efforts by parents, children will still make their own mistakes and have their own learning experiences - which is simply part of life. If this is the case, you can just help them along where they need it by providing advice and counsel.
