For many years, my disorganized and overflowing closet was the focus of my mornings. I’d stand in front of my clothes, not wanting to wear what I could see and unable to see what was hiding in piles and boxes meant to help organize the mess. I’d notice the minutes ticking by on the clock, and then throw on whatever I grabbed first.

Then, five years ago, I read about capsule closeting and Courtney Carver’s Project 333. By concept, capsule closeting is a way of simplifying and streamlining your wardrobe to a manageable number of items.

If you’ve ever struggled with credit or debt problems in the past, you probably want to help your child avoid repeating your mistakes. On the other hand, if you’ve managed your credit soundly and understand the benefits of doing so, that’s a life-skill you’d probably like to pass on to your children.

Regardless of your motivation, parents want good things for their children, and helping your child to establish good credit certainly falls into that category. Just make sure you don’t hurt your own credit in the process.
