I thought the same thing!

Meya, thanks for the link to the story I just looked at it and I really think that the mom had a good idea. This not only teaches her daughter about credit and how it works but how to be responsible for your credit.

I got it! This is a real cool video to watch about the mom and daugher. Please take a look at it.

Here is a nice link to look at, it talks about how we should teach our kids the value of a dollar. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12576691/

Not only was I just looking for this link, I had watched a morning talk show which a mom and 14 yr old daughter appeared and the mom was telling us how she provided her daughter with a secured cc with a $200 limit and fees were attached to it also if she was late, over the limit...etc. The card was linked to moms account and it also was reported to the 3 Cb's. Yes I said 3 Cb's on a 14 year old. When I was growing up, they did not put anything on our credit report, they put it on our moms or dads.

Anyway, the mom was saying how she was actually looking for her daughter to mess up so that she can learn. I can't remember a whole lot about it, but I am actually looking for it now. When I find it I will put it here so we all can check it out.

I was just telling my sister about that today. Her son is almost 13 yrs old and she was telling me about how she teaches him about being independent and living on his own. I told her "Dont forget to let him experience credit" Start while they are young so they will be well prepared when we kick them out on thier own. They are going to need some type of credit when they get their first apartment.

I do hope parents are talking to their children about the importance of credit because it is not a joke. Being in debt is no laughing matter

OMG you need to go and rent it or buy it NOW. Just make sure you dont buy the play, they have the same title but different scene's. He always make two of each, a play and a movie. Go to this link if you want to know more about it or after you have seen it https://www.financeglobe.com/SocialNet/forum/showthread.php?t=744&highlight=Shows I know you are gonna love it

Hahah ive never seen it but that was funny

Good Lord, that is a fire hazard. I am going to call the Fire Marshalls, that is against the law...lmao. This was a joke from Madea's brother on Madeas Family Reunion!

Dont do it, they are going to be all up your business. I know

My daddy was sad to let me go but not mah momma! IDK. She evil LOL JK! I will NEVER EVER EVER EVER GO BACK!

Some of us hispanics are creepy with 10+ ppl living in ONE HOME!

Dont do it, they are going to be all up your business. I know:laugh: how parents are.

I never got that love either! : Hehehehe. Its okay because I baby him too!!!!

Hmm I wonder if my parents would take me back? I think they will since they wanted my hubby to move in at the house w/ them when we decided to move in together and I was like OOOHHHHHH *beep* NO!!!!!!!!!!

Yes you are, that is because I am not giving them anything when they hit a certain age. If I do help out, it will be with their bills because no one is coming back to stay with me. I wish I could have received the love your brother is getting at 18, I was torched.

Then you know what, leave him alone. Gifts from parents shuold be taken advantage of at that age. I am just going to keep it real

Am I hearing this from the person who said that they was kicking their kids out as soon as they hit 18???

Im jealous. I WAS FORCED TO WORK and PAY FOR MY OWN SCHOOL. My mother would bring me applications from all over the place

I dropped out of school bcuz I was working WAY TOO MUCH which caused me to fail... School from 7am-3pm and work from 4pm-12am. It sucked really bad cause I couldnt change the schedule, I was evening manager.

Then you know what, leave him alone. Gifts from parents shuold be taken advantage of at that age. I am just going to keep it real:white-flag:
