So lady-like, hoooo~ $$$

I got my savings account, checking account and debit card all on the same day when I was 13! or maybe I was 12.

Can't remember when I got a debit card. Long, long ago though. All I know is I have a Student Account and I have a debit card and a check book, so I dunno, I guess that's a checking account? Whatever. As long as the bank keeps my damn money safe I'm happy. :p

I got my debit card and checking account before I turned 18. A couple months before. But my dad co-signed the account. Mostly just so he could pay me bi-monthly. I don't actually do anything for the money I get, I'm jut lucky. Even though it all ends up going for gas.

I quite enjoy having a debit card to use though. It is very useful. I can order stuff off the internet. It is awesome. Go Debit Mastercard!

And I have been thinking about getting an actual credit card, just to boost my credit score. Because I have already overdrawn my checking twice. Not good. Luckily, I have exactly $1.73 in the bank right now. :p

I got both a debit and credit card when I came down to college. They're both in my name, but my dad puts money into the checking account. I've got a savings account with my own money, and I move money from the savings to the checking whenever I buy something my dad won't pay for (i.e. video games).

I treat my credit card the same I do my debit--don't buy anything unless I have the money to cover it. I pay off the credit card completely every month.

I got a checking account almost ten years ago, since my rent could only be paid with checks.

I got my first checking account at 11yo, when i inherited 5 grand.

I got my credit card at 18yo, when i was able to.

I have a debit card, plus a £200 overdraft. Useful, 'cos I actually went over this week, without realising it... Erk... :p

No credit card for me, I won't have them... :mad2:

Dude, that's a good question. When did I get my checking account?

I mean, I got this account when I was 16, but I don't recall it being a checking account then. Maybe when I turned 18?

I got mine when I was 17 too, when I got my first job at Taco Bell ^_^ It's a joint account with my mom.

I got my own account as well when I was 19 because I didn't want my mom to see everything I was buying with my card online. xD
