My mom made the effort to help me build my credit score. I know it can go horribly wrong with some parents. Basically, she put me on her credit car she barely used but made she paid if she use it. I had my first checking account at 15 or 16 (my mom was on the account) and then I opened my 2nd sole-account at the age of 17 at a different bank. Then when I was 18, I had a credit card that I kept on over-paying instead of carrying a negative balance. Then at 20, I went for my car loan cosigned by my Mom. Then 2 months later (21 now), I had a Wal-mart credit card. The Wal-mart Credit Card keeps on going up an they recently made it a discover car. My 2nd checking account just gave me a credit card.
Unfortunately, my friend who is 22 too has no credit. He has applied to try an get credit but no one will take him. Not even the bank where he has a checking account. He waited too long to try and get a credit card after high school. He also paid cash for his car so that messe things up.
