Awful Kardashian Prepaid Mastercard Targets Innocent Youth
LatestWhen you think “Kardashian,” do you think “sound personal finance role model” or, rather, “everything that’s wrong with America in one word?” Whichever, now Kim K is hawking a credit card — for kids. Obviously.
The “Kardashian Prepaid MasterCard,” launching tomorrow at a glitzy Manhattan party, is being marketed to kids as young as 13, according to the New York Post. But lest you think this is a shameless ploy to capture the bank accounts and souls of America’s youth before they can learn any fiscal responsibility, on a par with marketing cigarettes to middle-schoolers, lighten up! It’s actually for the responsible parent. Says a rep for Mobile Resource, “Teens do not spend their money as their parents think they do…And, drugs are a huge problem in this country. I give my son a small amount of cash and track his spending on his card.”
