This is so true. I remember when I was at San Jose State, American Express set up a booth in the campus, and offered Amex cards to any student who showed his/her student ID and had a bank account. No questions asked. (Well, that was also when I got hooked on to credit cards.)

Unlike a debit card from your bank (which many allow overdrafts, getting you into even more debt), you are only able to spend what you put on the card. You are able to fund the card periodically or automatically with allowance schedules, from family, friends and employers. And with multiple plans to choose from, you can find a card that fits you and/or your family's lifestyle, as you can get the card for yourself or one for family members that are either already in need of debt-help or you would like to teach healthy financial living to, like your kids (as young as 13 years of age).
