Getting your first credit card is a significant financial milestone. After sorting through an endless array of program options and promotional offers, you made your choice, filled out the application, and saw those two magic words: You’re approved!
After the initial excitement wears off, it’s important to remember that just like your first car, your first credit card comes with a lot of responsibility. While it may be tempting to grab some friends to take the new plastic for a test drive, it’s a good time to exercise a little restraint. The financial decisions you make now will have long-term effects. Like a misspelled tattoo, it only takes a momentary lapse in judgement to make a mistake that will follow you for years to come.
So, before you start exercising your newfound financial freedom, here are a few tips to make sure your first credit card experience is positive:
