re: Adding children to a credit card account

My son is 15 and already knows he'll be required to get a job if he wants a car when he turns 16. I don't expect him to pay for all of his gas from that job, but he will absolutely contribute. Transportation to things will work itself out like it did when I was in high school and didn't have a car. Most of his friends come from upper middle class households and will likely get brand new cars. He's already complaining about the used cars we've been looking at for him. If he doesn't want that, he can bum rides or ride the bus to school. No sweat off my back.
