Re: credit cards
You can legally get credit cards at age 18. But they are as dangerous as heroin. Well, maybe not quite as dangerous. But high interest rates, late fees, and overlimit fees can send your bills through the roof. Lose your job and you won't be able to pay, fouling your credit rating for 7 years.
