We find ourselves being 'one of the few Americans' that do or don't do many things as well, Jay.  Not just in the no credit card discussion..

For instance,  my 13 yr old has mutual funds, a bank acct and a debit card.  Money he earned himself.  Ask him which will be worth more in 5 years- an iphone 10 or his mutual fund?  Ditto for my 17 yo + 4 years. One of few Americans is right!
