The only issue there is that credit cards aren’t really savings tools. They are spending tools. That can result in a great deal of debt. People who are 16 and under (or any age) would do well to open a savings account or some other actual savings vehicle, like a CD. Or even have parents put money in a fund for them.

Totally outrageous.
I can’t believe they’re allowed to do this.
Talk about sending the wrong message.
