Marian:

Does your D have a credit card account? S had one jointly with his dad until after he turned 18. He now has his own. Dad occasionally transfers money electronically into the account to pay bills. It’s handy when settling bills for books that can come up to a couple of hundred dollars, or purchasing fairly big ticket items. So far, S has used his credit card, the ATM machine and echecks (but only a couple of times). We impressed on him the importance of paying his credit card bills on time. He found having his own credit card very useful recently when purchasing an airline ticket online.
