| My S has a debit card on a seperate account than our primary one but it is linked to mine. I can monitor the account place money in the account and it takes care of him if he were to overdraw. He started with this account when he began to drive. So he had money if needed. I think this will be good for college to. He can manage it but if he runs into trouble I can help. When I use the ATM it shows as a secondary account to my main. This has worked well for us. We think this is better than a credit card. Debit cards can be used in the same places as a credit card but it helps him learn not spend what he doesn't have! |
