What Do The Teen Credit Card Debt Statistics Tell?
Well, you don't really need to look into the teen credit card
debt statistics to tell what's going on. The teen credit card
debt statistics would probably look very similar to any other. I
think I read somewhere about teen credit card debt statistics
and those teen credit card debt statistics indicated that a lot
of teens in US had a significant amount of balance on their
credit cards; something which they shouldn't have (considering
their limited needs for credit). Though these teen credit card
debt statistics would give you a fair idea of how our teens are
faring in the world of credit cards it's really not so important
to talk about teen credit card debt statistics as it is to talk
about the ways of bettering the teen credit card debt statistics
(I mean bettering the teen credit card debt statistics in a
positive way).
So how do you better teen credit card debt statistics?
Well, the bettering of teen credit card debt statistics would,
as you must have guessed, start with education. This education
has to start early in the life of the teens. Here we are not
talking about just credit cards related education but the
education about managing their finances in general. Teen credit
card debt statistics cannot be improved without explaining the
actual value of money to the teens (and also teaching them how
to use it). So, for bettering teen credit card debt statistics,
we need to give them an all round education on managing money
and finances.
This can start with asking them to maintain a
record of their pocket money and how they spend them. Also,
engage them into education related to money management (of
course, you have to customize the discussion to suit their level
of knowledge and maturity). The next step would be to open a
bank account for them and teach them the various aspects of
managing it. Teach them what debt it and when it is considered
bad. Debit card could be the next step for them. Once they start
becoming comfortable with doing their bank transactions by
themselves, you can get a prepaid credit card for them
(something that has a preset limit of $200-250). You could also
use a low limit credit card (with $250 credit limit) and teach
them how to use it.
Thus you can follow a step-by-step approach to ensure that your
teens learn the best practices (and hence you can keep them out
of those horrifying teen credit card debt statistics, thereby
contributing to bettering the teen credit card debt statistics).
