Possessing a student credit card is a great way to
assure that he or she will always be able to handle a financial emergency if
one should come up.
However, any credit card is simply borrowing from
your future unless you intend to pay it off each month.
The money has to
be paid back, or the interest accrued simply isn't worth the cost.
If
you're a student using a credit card to purchase pizza and beer, put it away
immediately. It will be the most expensive food and drink you've ever bought.
Put it in a jar full of water, and stick it in the freezer until you really
need it.
Emergency car repairs are fine, so is a bus or plane ticket for
an unexpected trip home for the weekend. There are other emergency type
expenses that will undoubtedly arise, and you'll want to be sure that as a
student, you will always be prepared.
You want to be sure that your
student credit card doesn't get taken advantage of, by becoming a source of
income for parties.
Don't be one of those students who runs around with
a credit card, buying whatever happens to please you at the time. There are
enough challenges in the world of a student without the added concerns of
excessive credit card debt.

choose the best card for you.
