Great Show. Just what we need.

I just caught the show Biz Kid$ for the first time, and was extremely pleased with what I saw. As a 20 year-old collage student, and an aspiring investor and entrepreneur, I have realized the lack of financial education in the United States. This show pleases me very much. I thank all who are involved with this program, and believe that the education of our youth is the key to the mending of our broken economy.

Kids and Credit Cards

At what age should kids have credit cards? How can they be taught to use them responsibly? Should they have them at all?
