GF wants a credit card

[LuckyTaxi]

He may not decide for her, but he can influence her strongly. So strongly that if he disagree with her getting a credit card, she wouldn't go and get one. It's all a matter of perspective.

EXACTLY ... it's not me controlling her, but her running off to applying for this card and that card. Some ppl just need a little steering in the right direction and that's all that I'm providing.

It's good to try to start establishing credit while you are young, just learn how to be responsible, I see way too many people that are 24-27 that didn't take responsiblity for their actions when they were 18 and early 20's and have crapped themselves into the nether regions of crummy credit.Don't let it happen to her!

Exactly why I want her to apply for one. She needs to obtain credit somehow. We just got an apartment and there were problems because she didn't have credit. I figure we will be getting a car/house soon so it would be great if she starts now.

Whenever you rephrase your question and remove the notion that you own her, then I can give an opinion. As for now, you don't own her, so I will not answer your question that makes such presumption.

Don't need your opinion ... I've gotten plenty. And what i meant by "letting" her was that she was going to run off and apply for one long before she got her checking account. it would've been a waste of time and effort.

Based on lilcam's post, I would guess that his GF is fairly young, since she just opened her own (presumably first) checking account. As pointed out, it isn't lilcam's choice on when to apply, but he probably has some influence over her decision. The question you must ask is simple:

Is she responsible enough to use a credit card without sinking into unmanageable debt?

Thank you!!! Exactly what I meant!!! She's not freaking responsible. She wants every card from every major department store. I think we'll start off with the GAP.

In addition ... those referring to me as possessive, what would you say if you're girl/guy wanted to make a major purcahse where both of your money are involved. Would you freely let your significant other make the purchase w/o consulting you?

It's her checking account, but she would spend all her money if I don't control her somehow. I dont tell her what she can't or could buy, but if we're talking about something major then I want to get involved. I dont wanna bail her out years later when she's drowning in debt.

gosh ... just trying to make sure she'll be ok and I get criticize!

Go figure it out. Other than that, Zenmervolt knows.

The Duke knows what it means.

That was the greeting msg on my cell phone for almost a year. If I remeber right, it's swahili.

Hahahaha, you all thought it was her WOMAN!! (and not like in the song by White Town) But it's HotChic in disguise!! Bwahahaha! SHE FOOLED YOU ALL!



I bet if you knew you were talkin to a lady, you'd be much more curteous too.

*Edit: In a moment of self reflection, I realized I pwned myself. Please disregard.

that's admirable and all but your resources aren't shared... and if they are, then what the hell are you doing? you're not married to the girl.
