In thinking about getting a kid ready for college, there are numerous details to consider, outside of course selection and financial aid. Just figuring out their day to day activities can be overwhelming. Even while living in a dorm, kids are going to need some money for incidentals, personal care, and entertainment. I recently learned of an idea that might be a great for solution for both parents and their young adult children.

In looking at the Vision Premiere Visa card, it looks like a solution for kids who want to spend and parents who want to help keep spending under control. The Vision Premiere Prepaid Card has several features including direct deposit, online bill pay, balance notifiers and savings on insufficient funds transactions. When signed up with direct deposit there are no weekly fees, no transaction fees and no bank account required. It works like a debit card so is easy to use. There is guaranteed approval. This could really be beneficial to both parties and an easy way for both parents and kids to keep track of the money being spent. As kids head off to school this fall, this could provide a great avenue for real life experience in handling money without the pitfall of the lessons they learn being too expensive!
