At the ages to 12- 19 I don’t think that teenagers should have credit cards . • Teenagers tend to spend money on things they want more than the things they need. • Wants are the things that you want to have like for example candy and shoes. • Needs are things that you can not survive without for example food and shelter. • If a teenagers spent all of there money on the things they want there will be no money left over for the things they need to live. • But If the teenager has a good self discipline and are able to control there wants and needs it wont be a bad idea to give teenagers a credit card because it will make the parents job much easier.

In Canada the average consumer debt is 26,000 dollars. • Debt is really powerful and can tend to ruin peoples lives and Cause depression • Credit cards also have a monthly payment which is often $10 or 3% of the total owing so if teenager do use cash they will save money • Credit cards arelike getting a loan you have to eventually pay that amount that you used plus interest so more money is getting paid then if you payedin cash
