financial times
Blair asked:


When I was 18-years-old I made the mistake of taking out a credit card and maxed it out. I learned from my mistake and never took out a credit card again since that age. I am now 23-years-old and have never had a credit card since; I do business now strictly with cash or check. I just recently settled my credit card debt in court and am actively in the process of repaying this debt back. This is an understandable mistake; I was 18, I was a kid, and thus not a good measure or indicator of my character today. I just recently got accepted at a financial investment company to intern and eventually become a full-time financial rep when I graduate next May; I am right now filling out the job contract paperwork that asks me questions about my personal debt. If I just begun to pay back my credit card from being an 18-year-old, do you really thing they will hold this position against me now? I don’t think it is uncommon that college students have debt anyhow.

YES - Basically, if you cannot manage your money, how would you be able to tell other peiople to manage their money.

Just be glad that you didnt declare bankruptcy.
