How many bank accounts and credit cards should I have?
Q. I am currently a college student with 2 checking accounts (Wamu- 3 years & BOA- 1 year) and 1 credit card (Citi- 1 year). I have always met the requirements for my checking accounts and paid all my credit card bills on time. As for loans, I do have about $10,000 of student loans in debt. I was wondering if it is okay for me to get another credit card. Also, many say that having a lot of credit cards are bad for you. What is the reccomendation of how many bank accounts and credit cards should I have so that my credits would not go down? Thanks in advance!

A. It's not uncommon to have multiple bank accounts with different banks, from my past and current experience, I primarily do all my business with one bank if possible. I'm going to list the types of accounts that you should have in order to prepare yourself financially: 1. Checking account- This is the primary tool to not only monitor your finances, but to pay all your bills on time. 2. Savings account- This should be used as a primary reserve that should be used in the event of emergencies and as a backup reserve to your checking account. 3. Traditional/Roth IRA- This should be your primary retirement account. Anytime that you have a 401K,402g, or 403b plan, and plan to switch employers, this would be the account to move or "rollover"… [cont.]

What crdit cards do they use in other countries?
Q. What credit cards do they use in other countries? Visa and Mastercard, like in the US, or do other countries have other kinds of credit cards? If you live outside of North Americam tell us what type of credit card you have in your pocket.

A. I have, 3 Visa Cards, 2 Master cards, 1 Amex card [American Express]. They are all clear though except for 2 of the visas even then I only owe about 700 which I could clear in a month if I wanted to. I don't use my credit cards I just got them when I was in work so that if the time ever came when I needed access to credit and didn't have a job or whatever I would have them there. Edit: Just noticed didn't say I live in the UK

What is the best way to store trading cards?
Q. I have an 8 yr old stepson who has 1600+ Yu Gi Oh cards and they are a mess all over the house. What is the best way to store these? I thought about getting binders and those clear vinyl sheets that hold 9 cards, but was told those damage the cards and make it difficult for him to play with them. What are some (easy and inexpensive) ways to store his cards that will protect the cards, make them accessible for him to play, and most importantly, keep them put up?

A. Get a few box's, and ask him to sort them in to piles, by set. Then stick the cards in the box's. BTW, no, those binders don't mess up cards, you just must keep the pages straight.
