How to teach or punish a teenager infatuated with Democrats that when you buy on credit its NOT your money?
My nephew has received a "bail out" from his parents TWO TIMES and he has not learned his lesson!
He applies for a lot of credit, goes on a spending spree, charges 2 or 3 cards to the near max leaving one open then he says that he will pay the cards back "when he gets a job over the summer."
The first time he accumulated ,000 of credit card debt, the second time ,000 of debt!
Now he got a new line of credit and has already accumulated ,500 dollars on it in less than 2 months!
I say that his parents SHOULD NOT pay the balance and let him file for BANKRUPTCY!
How else can he learn his lesson!?
HE IS OBVIOUSLY VERY DANGEROUS WITH CREDIT!
I guess his parents never taught him finance as a kid!
Let this be a lesson to parents everywhere who think that their kids are "too young for money."
He is 19 but I use "teenager" because he still acts like a teen with no sense of money!
