working working working. commuting 2 hours each way each day. fundraising.

i got a chequebook in the post today. this finally means i am a MAN. yes.

Just wait until you get a cedit card. Then you'll be a man in debt

i applied for one. how foolish am i? i know have a debit card, a credit card a checquebook AND a cash card from ym building society...

I'm sure you don't really want an answer to that question.

i've had a chequebook for *years* and i'm still not a man.

*remembers about those forms she's meant to have filled in to even open a bank account*

Cheque book, woohoo, auw...little UH is all grown up

No, he won't be "all grown up" until he starts paying lots of bills with all those checks/cheques.

*giggle*

He won't really be all "grown up" until he *can't* pay the bills with those checks!

i'm sposed to be getting a chegue book soon...i asked for one...don't think they've sent it yet...
anyway, i don't plan to become a man because of it...

How old do you have to be to get a cheque book?

I can't even get a charge card, just a card for the machines...although I can't even do that until I fill out the damn forms

*sees the words "bank" "bill" "debt", away screaming...
Mommy, make them stoooop!!!"*

Oh, poor eeR!
I have a cheque book and we both have bank cards-they're *evil*, I tell you! EVIL!!!! They never have enough of our money...

i now have a cheque book
and i've had a cash card for ages...but not a credit card or a debit card...far too dangerous
and i can't really use my cheque bok, there isn't enough money in my account

I thought you couldn't get a cheque book until you were 18?

I can't even get a switch card until then...just a stupid cash card that I haven't as yet filled out the paper work for

If you'd like some practice Clelba, you can make a cheque out to "Cash" and send it to me! It'd be a real thrill getting that cancelled cheque in the post!

A bunch of young girls came into the store at the weekend - I swear they couldn't have been more than 15 years old, and they all had their own credit cards. Maybe they were older, maybe you need a driving licence before you can get a cc or a bank account, but they sure as hell didn't look old enough to have either. I know there were a few friends of mine in sixth form (16/17) who had bank accounts. I didn't get my first one until I was 25, and that was a business account. I got a personal account a few years later. I've never had a credit card, but I had an American Express card for about 10 years before I came here. They're great because you have to cough up the wedge at the end of the month.

I've been trying the past couple of days to make head nor tail of the forms the bank gave me to fill in so I can set up a bank account and get a card for the cash machine.

I've only got about £500 in savings but can only ever get to £50.

And I can't even get a charge card until I'm 18.

Probably a good thing.

I wouldn't trust me with a charge card, I'd probably lose it.

i was in town the other day with a girl same age as me, and she had a credit card...
but a lot of people at this school have rich parents, so it's ok for them i guess
