That's some good advice...wish I'd figured that out when I was the "kids" age.

Very good advice. I paid off my credit cards 10 years ago, paid off my last car loan 5+ years ago, and paid off my mortgage 2 years ago, and never financed a thing since. Life is so much better when you don't have to worry about debts.

I 2nd that! About 4 years ago I was $24k in credit card debt, had a car loan, student loan and a mortgage. Talk about stress. Now I am basically completely out of debt (well, I have to pay off the VX still, but I feel good about that). I paid off my credit cards completely and now I am FREEEEEEE!

Life is MUCH better without debt, especially credit card debt. I honestly feel that a high school requirement should be a class about personal finances and the dangers of debt. Who needs Algerbra? We need to be taught about compound interest and revolving credit and student loans and how to take out a mortgage!!!
