Having credit cards are an excellent way to get good credit scores, but if you're not responsible with them (like I was), digging yourself out of that hole can take years.

It's unbelievable that so many students apply for credit cards without a thorough understanding of how they work and are supposed to be managed. I'm planning on applying for one now, and I have been doing some research on credit education online. A site by Wells Fargo ("Backstage" : http:// backstage.wellsfargo.com) caught my interest when I came across it a couple of days ago. It looks really user-friendly, and most importantly, it offers helpful on line tutorials on credit education and money management. I'm still searching around, but it seems that the Wells Fargo site has all the info a college student need to be financially healthy. I posted this link here, and I'm curious to hear what others have to say about it. Would love to see if any of you have used Backstage before for anything! Lin Hi there,

I racked up $1000 ( in my defense it was over a couple of years though! ) and my grandma bailed me out. There was just a point in there somewhere where I nearly couldn't make a payment and needed to borrow money. It was such a relief when I handed her that last of that borrowed cash back. I HATE borrowing money and hope to NEVER been in a position ( other than emergency or sickness ) to have to do so again. I’m so embarrassed about my credit behavior as a 19 year old.
