October 26, 2007, Newsletter Issue #127: Help Your Teenager Handle Money

Tip of the Week

This is especially important for teenagers who will be heading off to college: If your child doesnīt have a checking account, open one now and help her learn how to write checks, use ATMs, and balance her account. Be sure to talk to your child about credit cards, since credit card companies target college students. Help them to understand interest, minimum monthly payments and the ramifications of a poor credit record.
