Hi guys,
Just out of curiosity, at what age did you each receive your first credit card at? I personally was 19 when I got my first card (this was the age I felt I was responsible enough to have one) and there wasnt really much chance for me to get one much before that (no chance in hell my parents would have got me one when i was under 18).

I am noticing now that kids are starting to get them younger and younger. My 14 year old female cousin has one and this strikes me as a recipe for disaster!!

What is your opinion?
