A decision my mother did not approve of was me getting a credit card. My mother and I always had a great relationship and therefore I always tell her what I’m up to and since everything. I just turned 19 years old with no job at the time and I was excited to get a credit card due to the great benefits they have and of course because after long sessions of research I found a great credit card to start building credit for the future. I signed up and I later told her and she was mad at my decision because she thought I was going to spend the money mindlessly and create debt that could endanger me instead of helping me.

I have now around 8 months with the credit card and have paid the full balance each month without fail. I have paid multiple flights from family while I’m getting the cashback as payout and it’s been a blast to get benefits without even wasting my own money!. Though I got annoyed when she was mad at me because of my decision, I know she just cares about me and that’s why she didn’t want me to get a credit card and that I understand.
