25.
Car lease through ally at 20 paid off. Got a terrible CapOne Masterdcard that year that they only give me $750 on, which started at $500. At 24 I got a Gold AMEX and also paid off student loans. Early this year I got a Chase Freedom. Just two days ago I was approved for both the Capital One Venture and an AMEX Cash Everyday. I've never been late on a bill and most of my payments are done far before they are due if not a day or two after the charges take place.
My goal is to make money off of a system that is built for people to fail. Great success so far.

Gotta say it is damn encouraging to see so many young people taking control of their finances and credit.

I just turned 21. I started when I was almost 20 with a $300 limit credit card from US Bank. It quickly grew from there. What a journey.
Here is what I have now:
US Bank Flexperks Signature
US Bank Cash+ (kinda) Combing three accounts to create this card
Chase Freedom $5k
Amex HHonors $2k
Best Buy $3k
Crap1 $1.5k
Now I am working on saving money to buy an investment property.

It should. The cards seem to start growing exponentially.
