When you turn 18, get your own card.

using card is fuckign expensive and makes you ENTIRELY the banks bitch, if they take your card, you have nothing, and every time you spend your money, they tale a share for giving you the privlige of spending your own money. Here the backs are fucking whores and it runs at about US$.50 which adds up fast to an average(across the country) of close to a grand a year in bank fees, may thier withered souls rot in a thousand hells, i could have spent that on a $700 leather jacket i want =~(

I don't know of many banks that do that here now. When I got my first ATM card, there were only a few places where you could use it for purchases--this was in '93. My bank would charge me 25 cents whenever I used my ATM card for purchases. I believe they scrapped that charge in early '94. Then, MasterCard and Visa check cards came out...and many merchants started accepting debit cards for purchases. My old bank charged me $1.50 if I didn't use my Visa debit card for 7 or more purchases in a statement cycle. First Union charges me nothing. No more cash for me.
