Finally, it is sunny again!  I don't know about you guys, but I am tired of the rain and gray skies.  Are any of you visiting colleges this summer?  Even if you’re a younger teen, it’s crazy how fast the time flies by in junior high and high school.  I think my parents and I looked into around 4 or 5 different colleges as we tried to decide where I should go.   

For tips on avoiding debt and the credit card trap in college, click here.  I’m actually featured in the video.  No making fun of me!  And don’t worry, I’m not quitting my day job.  J   

After high school, do you plan on using a credit card for any purchases?  How will you research which one is best? 

I had a credit card in college that my mom paid for and it was only to be used for emergencies.  I think I used it a few times on things like getting a new battery for my car, a doctor visit, and so on.  Mostly I used my debit card.
