At 14 you should be able to get a debit card...it is just an eftpos (ATM) card but can be used like a credit card online...just without the credit.

If you are like me....A bad bad thing......credit is when you get given money (from the banks/lending institutions)...which is awesome....but then you have to pay it back....which, sometimes isn't so awesome.

just Goggle debit card...or check out your banks website to see if they do them or if you are eligible to get one.

Credit is borrowing money, debit is like an electronic check. With a credit card you have to pay the credit card company every month plus a small fee for borrowing their money, with a debit card every time you use it the money spent is just deducted right out of your bank account.

Ain't no accountant, but I use my debit card heavily. I don't make enough money to just be borrowing from people willy-nilly, I'll spend what I got and not spend what I don't got.

Oh, and "your credit" is like how trustworthy you are with loans. Having good credit means banks are more likely to give you larger loans at fairer interest rates. Some people use credit cards sparingly just to boost their credit, using them to purchase items like TV's and microwaves and pay them off right away. Stuff like that is good for your credit score I guess.

B-17, go to Wal-Mart and get a prepaid debit card.  You give Wal-Mart cash, they give you a card, you give the card number to HTC...  All is golden.
