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.
