If you want your new college student to be successful financially,
give them a checking account instead of a credit card. A survey of
college freshmen found that the earlier teenagers had access to credit
cards, the less prepared they were to manage their own money in
college. Those with checking accounts felt they had a better handle on
finances. Source Link
That
daily cup of joe could make for better memories in your golden years. A
study found that coffee drinkers were less likely to suffer the mild

WiFi service in the coffee shop or the mall may not be where you want
to do your business online. A survey found that one out of four people
use free WiFi to do their banking online or make purchases using a
credit card. That’s dangerous because hackers can set up fake WiFi
hotspots that mimic the real thing and scoop up your personal
information. Source Link
