Get a Student Credit Card (And Still Stick to Your Budget!)

Having a credit card when your in college is really handy. You can always use it in an emergency, and you don’t have to carry around large amounts of cash, which you could lose or get stolen. The challenge is that it’s hard for students to have credit card requests approved, and if they are it’s usually expensive and don’t fit in with a students budget. However here are a couple of choices for students so they can have the credit card they want and not worry about wasting all your money on it.
