I opened my first CC when I finished with HS. It was a Chase Sony visa with a $500 limit. I have changed it to a chase freedom plus and is up to 6K.

Are you a Wheel of Fortune Fan?  You could win $10k with that card.

USBank Student VISA $500 limit in 2004, just after finishing my freshman year of college. I didn't want anything to do with CCs (didn't trust them) but my mom made me get it and told me to charge something on it every 6 months and then PIF. I did that religiously, then found the forums - got second card May 2008 and now I've got 8 cards total!

That's outstanding Pez.  You have awesome scores too!  Your mom gave you good advice.  And you took that advice and flourished with it.  Good job!!
