It sure does take a good head on your shoulders at that age. Alot of us screwed up in our esrly 20's by just being young and well, maybe clueless. I dont know what i would have done with 24k especially as i was never truely taught how to utilize it right. Guide her wellSmiley Happy

Well that's what both her father and I did.  I'm trying really hard to help my kids get off with a better start and understand a lot more about how important these early choices are.  I can't take credit for them, though.  My 2 adult children are way more responsible than I ever was.

 

I'm thinking about recommending that she leave the Navy card here in a sock drawer and just set it up with an Amazon subscribe and save subscription for a $3 snack item every month.  Use the Chase visa for every day purchases.  Leave the Discover set up for all her other amazon purchases, which are small and semi-regular.

Ah, okay, thanks for the heads up! I just figured I had accidentally deleted it when I had tried to originally edit the post or something lol.
