Part A: Read the case information carefully before doing your informal Informational Memo Report

THE CASE: Avoiding Credit Card Debts for Postsecondary Students

Recent college and university graduates face an astounding amount of debt, with the total accumulated debt now exceeding $13 billion, according to the Canada Student Loans Program. This translates into an average of more than $20,000 per graduate across the country. Part of this debt is due to increasing numbers of easy to obtain, high-interest credit cards. Because they can't buy cars, rent homes, or purchase insurance, graduates with big credit debt see a bleak future for themselves.

A local newspaper plan to run a self-help story about credit card for post-secondary students. The editor asks you, a young part time reporter, to provide a memo with information that could be turned into an article. The article would be targeted to parents of students who are about to leave for college or university. What can parents do to help students avoid sinking deeply into credit card debt?
