<prompt> Human: Ive seen lots of posts around here about parent using their kids info and ruining their credit. Got me to thinking, can I do that in reverse in a non-felony fraud conviction type of way?EDIT I should probably add that I am a single dad now, and that the kiddo will already have a substantial nest egg to work with for college1st homeetc. Also prepared to give allowance and bills so she can learn to budget. This kids gonna go through the ringer. Anything I can do to make that easier I will. I know credit isnt everything, but it sure makes a lot of things a lot easier. source: had shit credit for many years  <response>: You could probably do more to play the system to your advantage than this, but... My parents told me to always live within my means, and provided a strong example by living that advice themselves. They got me a credit card at 18 and told me to pay it off every month. Im now in my mid-20s, debt free, and have a credit score 750.
