This results in a high incidence of debt and bad credit among young adults. This book offers excellent advice on how to use credit cards wisely and how to develop fiscal responsibility. Discussed in detail are the different types of credit cards available, the importance of reading the fine print on the application form, and the importance of building a solid credit history.
