Have you done your research of the CC?
Does it fit your spending?
Do you have a plan for the bonus w/o going into debt?
Can you afford the AF?
Do you know the cards benefits? Is it worth the HP?

1. Advice I'd give my younger self: "Go ahead and get yourself some credit while you're young..."

2. ... but never charge more than you can pay off with a single paycheck.

Re: Garden Club - October 2014

Responsibly drinking in the real world (b'day early prep).

 

1.  Having used cash rewards for 5+ years, rewards cards are for PIF,

 

2. Research your future apps and know you really want the card (or is a valid stepping stone for getting), before apping.  Helpful while in the garden, goals change as one changes.
