College Credit

Swetnam

SAVANNAH, MO (2012-10-04)

As the fall season approaches, credit card companies typically begin approaching college students.

Even though most college students lack a steady income, credit card companies have learned that parents will often foot the bill.

She says parents should take the time to teach their kids the importance of controlling spending.

Travnichek says parents should also ensure their children know to properly manage their checking account.
