Editor's Note: Congratulations to Lance, @gadha, and Kandace Coupons for winning this week's contest!
I have a confession: I have yet to bite the bullet and get my first credit card. After hearing all the horror stories about people going into debt because of credit cards, the concept of getting a credit card just isn't that appealing to me. I probably should have gotten my first credit card in college, but I thought that might be an irresponsible decision since I didn't have a full time job and (consequently) wasn't bringing in enough money to feel comfortable owning a credit card.
When did you get your first credit card? Did you have a stable job at the time? Should you have gotten a credit card sooner or later? What is the best age for someone to get their first credit card?
Tell us when you got your first credit card and we'll enter you in a drawing to win a $20 Amazon Gift Card!
