Getting Your First Credit Card

[@kaikaiser7365]

Bro…thank you…I literally just graduated straight out of high school, and there’s been so much going on with these financial issues that I have to deal with. I just feel like high school didn’t even prepare us for these type of situations, but thanks again for making this video.

[@crystaljones9303]

Yup, they don't really prepare you for stuff like that. they may briefly talk about taxes but never teach you thoroughly about it.

[@miguelvazquez7941]

Same here graduate of 2021 at 19 not even the slightest I thought about opening a credit card bc how scared I was. I’m still doing research and asking questions to understand how in the world I should handle a credit card with full responsibility.

[@kes933]

@@miguelvazquez7941 figure it out yet?

[@miguelvazquez7941]

@@kes933 yeah it’s easy asf. You just got to teach yourself in Financial Education credit cards are for small purchases like gas or groceries they are Liabilities and debt cards are for huge purchases like for example a pair shoes that cost $170. Most credit card have a limit of $1000 but be cautious of what you buy and how you spend it don’t go over %10 of that $1000 limit you can set yourself in bad debt. Hope this helped 👍🏽

I'm turning 13 as of the moment and binging videos on how to pay taxes and credit cards and stuff like that just to be prepared as I see alot of adults stressed about it. I love this channel and it gave me piece of mind on stuff like this.

[@kmphysics]

Keep thinking like that, you're already ahead of many kids (even adults) if you are thinking about taxes & credit cards at 13.

I refused to even learn about a credit card until my mid-late 20s. My parents are not the most financially intelligent, but they weren’t totally reckless. Still, I watched their credit card debt affect them negatively, and helped them cut the cards up into pieces after declaring bankruptcy when I was 8. I didn’t get my first credit card until I could afford to not NEED one. until 2 weeks ago, 😆 And I’m 32, and checking around every corner, and not using this for anything I don’t buy on a weekly/monthly basis anyway! Thanks for the video!!

I have chase do you think I should open a credit card with them? I trust them and I love how easy it is to use im just nervous with opening a credit account

[@ellalakey4480]

@@YasminxRivera yeah I really recommend it. You can set up automatic payments too so you don’t have to worry about ever forgetting to pay it off.

[@ellalakey4480]

@Shoot you’ll probably need to at least open a checking acc, not sure how you could pay off the card if you don’t have a chase account.

This kind of video is EXACTLY what I was hoping to find. Thank you for taking the time to explain these things simply and clearly. I feel much more confidant about applying now. Great video!

[@WDFTV]

Loved the way he explained everything in simple terms and took the time to do so! Usually I get so confused because I dont 100% understand the language these finance videos use but this was great. I feel way more confident to move forward now. Thank you!

[@blessedand4givenipress570]

Thank you so much!!!🥰I just got my first credit card at 63 years old. I appreciate the time that you took to explain it. God Bless and Thank you🙏🏽

[@1PandaCutie]

I was always told to never pay your credit card in full because that will hurt your credit instead of helping it which I never understood. Everyone that I talked to about credit cards told me to pay it little by little to show that you are responsible enough to pay your card on a schedule. So after watching this I’ve now become very confused.

[@ade8890]

I've received that same advice. You'll come to learn that it's full of shit. I used to make regular payments for the same reason. As soon as I started always paying in full, it actually went up by quite a bit. When applying for a mortgage they like to see no credit card debt. I don't think forcing yourself to make the payments in smaller portions makes any sense. Prolly some folk tale that started from credit card companies, so they can get some interest lol. What TRULY matters with credit score is that you don't appear to be a financial liability. If you're constantly using and paying off your credit card, that's plenty of evidence for the current credit score system.

[@GBR9794]

Even better, pay it down before the closing date to keep it reported as 1% ~ 6% utilization. YMMV though since some banks process transfers like a snail.

[@HarmScher]

I'm about to be 30 and have never had a credit card; even our economics class in HS had a whole half semester lesson on never getting credit cards because they're bad. But when I moved out, I realized you need a credit score to get approved even for apartments and stuff; I got around that bc of my roommate, and still have had trouble understanding credit cards. I tried to apply for chime as the safest option, but they told me I needed to let HR know and have them connected that way, which made me not want to do that bc wtf. This is the first video that actually makes sense to me, so thank you.

[@oxlum506]

You're the only one who put all the important information in a good list without over talking or mistake. Much appreciated 👌

[@jamesharris8583]

Stay away from credit for now unless your parents can help you build it. Easy money is a trap when you're young. Especially if you like to have fun. So unless you got parents that take care of you, or you're good at managing your money, I wouldn't get one.
