We aren't anywhere near thinking about our children building a credit history, but we have been considering subscribing to an identity protection service. We've had a few credit cards stolen, but never our whole identity. I don't know how we would function if that happened. Do you recommend one service, in particular? Great points to think about Lisa.

I do not have credit cards, nor do I "need" them. How good your credit is is directly related to how much debt you have. I hope you might also teach him the value of not having debt at all, and that in every case "The borrower is slave to the lender". I am lucky I am taking charge of my financial future at the relatively young age of 30, but so many people don't. Bravo to you as parents to make him aware of some of the pitfalls, but I hope you might take a moment to read the book yourselves, and pass that knowledge on to him, before he buys into all that the consumer world has to offer, even the concept of "biulding credit".
