There are many benefits to getting a credit card early such as having time to build your credit, and learn the difference between a credit and debit card in action.
Here are some tips to keep in mind for using credit cards for beginners:
- Pay your bill before it’s due so you don’t incur interest charges.
- You can use it to cover minor emergencies as long as you make your monthly payments on time if you can’t pay it off in full.
- If you don’t use it correctly, you can get in trouble with your account which isn’t a good way to start your credit foundation.
- A credit card is different from a debit card because you borrow against your balance and have to repay it vs. a debit card which deducts from the cash you have in your account. You want to practice spending using both and experience how they impact your finances.
