Court... stay away from credit cards if you can help it. Debit cards are much easier, and they prevent you from spending more money than you have (although most will have a $300 or so overdraw built into it, in case you have an emergency)
thing is, we can't help it. my bank account is almost empty and i probably won't be getting anymore money for a while unless we find jobs and find them quick. and if nothing else, if we ever get a card, at least we will establish credit. the problem is, you have to have credit to get credit. apparently it's something you are born with or without, because i'm having a hard time with the whole 'establishing' thing.
don't worry, i know what i'm getting myself into (if i ever get into it). my dad made the big credit card mistake of thinking it meant he could buy whatever he wanted and not pay for it, and now he's in maaaaaaaajor debt. i learn from his financial mistakes.
