Credit Card And Movie

Credit cards are great for emergency money, earning rewards and establishing credit but can be damaging to your financial life if used poorly. Speak with your local bank and decide what card best suits your student income. In the meantime, here is a look at the pros, cons, and solutions regarding credit cards.

Establishing Credit

PRO: Establishing credit is almost essential to buy a car, open a business or buy a house and sometimes even to purchase a phone. While you may not be thinking of these things right now (except your phone!), you will when you get older. Begin establishing your credit early.

CON: On the flip side, having poor credit will prevent you from these opportunities.

Emergency Money

PRO: So your car breaks down in some bums-town and you haven't been paid yet. With less than $20 left over in your bank account you are officially in a pickle. But a-ha! Out comes Mr. Credit Card to save the day with its magic money.
