Lynnae, A bit off-topic, but cool that you're a Triton! I took a summer course there back in 1999. Lived in SD for grad school, too. That library looks like something out of Star Trek :O) Jason @ MyMoneyMinute’s last blog post..#012 — The Mark Cuban Stimulus Package

Hi Lynnae! I think many, many of us were only given the advice that you need a credit card to build up your credit. Most of them add that you should pay it on time. Unfortunately, a lot of adults seem to forget the second part of the lesson about interest and the fact that making a minimum payment isn’t enough. You are certainly not alone in that boat. I’m still paying off some debt from years and years ago because I also tricked myself into thinking that as long as I could pay the minimum I was doing fine.

The good thing is that all of us how have gone through that will do a better job teaching our kids the whole lesson.
