Over one-third of Canadians share a joint credit card with their partner, parent, or child, according to a recent survey conducted by Rates.ca. Among the parents who share their credit card with their children, 63% said that managing their children’s purchases is less difficult than it was two years ago.
Sharing a credit card with your child may be a beneficial learning experience, as less than half of Canadians (46%) think that children aged 18 should be independent and in charge of their own credit card, while 34% chose the age of 21, and 15% chose the age of 25. Respondent’s opinions may correlate with their own experiences and lessons regarding credit cards and credit products, as 94% of Canadians rate themselves poor when it comes to financial literacy.
However, many children are no longer solely learning financial habits from their parents. In Ontario, the Ministry of Education has started to implement financial literacy education in the curriculum for grades 4-12.
