What Every Student Should Know About Credit, Including the Truth about Student Credit Cards

Leading website expands its coverage and services to include in-depth content, advice, tips, tools, credit card applications and free downloads ... written by students, for students.

Alexandria, LA (PRWeb) November 17, 2006 -- FrankfordFinancial.com announced today the expansion of its Student Credit Cards Section. New features like FAQs, news and in-depth analysis of student cards will help young people choose and use the right credit card responsibly.

According to Andrea Glorioso, Analyst for Frankford Financial ... "We invested a large amount of time and resources in this new endeavor because we have a sincere desire to help educate today's youth. We are encouraging Educators, Universities, High Schools, and Financial Advisors to link to this new section as a real-world education for their students.

The problem we see is that students are simply not aware. We want to teach them that money doesn't grow on trees, nor do credit cards. Seems we never talk to our children about credit or finance and they end up learning the hard way, or the wrong way.

When students graduate college they hardly know anything about credit, its implications on personal finance or how to use their credit cards correctly, which often times leads to a hardship by the time they graduate.

We have a solution to the problem ... Our new section is written by a graduate Student who is currently pursuing his MBA and shares his hard-learned lessons so that others won't make the same mistakes.

A staggering statistic: 53% of all incoming college Freshmen apply for credit cards without having any real-world knowledge of how to use them responsibly. With the large volume of student credit cards available today, it's difficult for students to know if they are making the right choice or getting the best possible deal. By presenting our real world scenarios, expert advice and credit card rate data in one easy-to-navigate section, we offer students an alternative to exhaustive, frustrating and time-consuming research. Keith, our 'Tour Guide,' will instruct users on making smart, responsible decisions or if carrying a credit card is even the right thing to do.

Most sites that feature information for students is purely sales-driven, we're changing that. And we are also offering at no charge our latest publication for Students, 'The Financial Organizer.' It's like a First-Aid Kit for finances that will encourage Students to create a plan and get organized. Site visitors are welcome to download it free.

We hope our new section will empower students with the kind of knowledge they would not ordinarily obtain in their college education."

We encourage those interested to link to...What every student should know about credit (http://www.frankfordfinancial.com/student-credit-card/student-creditcards.htm) ...so they may help educate their readership with these valuable tools and services.

We may provide the information in .pdf documents to Educators or consider speaking at school events at no charge.
