you're old enough...\n\nI had a savings account in my pre-teens.   It had been a school assignment to teach kids the value of saving.  I kept that account open for a long time and each week I put part of my allowance in. \n\nI'm in Staten Island, NY

Start a 529 College Savings Plan for him....he can access the College Savings plan a lot sooner than he can access the IRA - he has to be 59 1/2 to access the IRA, you can set it up to allow him to access a 529 account at age 18.

I didn't realize that was a rule.  If you're under 18, just get your folks to set up an account for you.

Whatever bank you go with, you need to open one with your parents until your 18

It depends on the state. Some say 18. And some will let you get it done earlyer with a parents written ok.

You can usually get one at 18.  Your monthly payment will be a percentage of what you owe plus any finance charges.

YOu have to be 18 to open a brokerage account. A parent or guardian can open a custodial account for you. I'm opening a custodial account for my 7 week old baby.

You can choose to roll it over for another 12 or 24 months. I believe the interest rates are better this year too, or you can draw it out. I don't think at your age there is any penalty.

Some banks allow a kid to have a debit card with their parents approval when they are a teenager.  I think you have to be around 15 or 16 though.  Also depends on the bank.

I think as long as you have the cash they'll sell one to you.  I used to work at a postal service, and there was not a set age you had to be to buy one.

You actually don't have to be 18. Most banks offer debit cards for kids under 18, which are linked the their bank account, which the parents have custody since they are not over 18. Parents can set limits and so on. Now a days, banks are not the only place you can get a debit card at, just go to a pharmacy such as Rite Aid and CVS, and other places. They offer debit cards where you pay for them at the register and thats how you would fill it up with money. Its just that simple now, cash is just too much of a risk, while debit cards and credit cards seem more in and gives us much more security.

You would have to be at least 18 for a bank to legally be able to give you a loan.

It depends what you want to do. Most places will let you rent your own place at any age, as long as you have the money/ credit or someone ele to co-sign for you.

You have to open an account first.

18 is fine, you are legally an adult then.
