Important stuff
I just got my first credit card as part of this special offer from my bank specifically for college students to help them start building good credit and setting a good financial foundation for the future. It came with this neat, informational packet, and had great tips and additional sources for information. One site it highly recommended for young adults is Hands on Banking:

I haven't really tried it yet, but it looks cool and it makes me excited for having a good financial future. I'm excited, I have my own checking account (had three debit cards, but closed the accounts on two of them, so now I just use one ^^), my own savings account, and now my own credit card! All on my own =D Though my very first debit card and account, my mom helped me get when I was 16 ><;; I feel all responsible and stuff. I'm going to educate myself as best I can regarding money matters, and I want to save as much money as possible.
