Keeping Up With The Kardashian Kard's Hidden Fees

Keeping Up With The Kardashian Kard's Hidden Fees: "

Keeping up with the Kardashians comes at a cost. The reality show star is pimping a new prepaid debit card targeted at kids that is as bursting with hidden fees as Kim's shirt, featured prominently on the plastic, is bursting with integrity. Yeah, I think using sex to sell hidden fees to kids is pretty messed up. Just take a look at all these fees:

If you're looking for a more convenient, and instructive, way to let kids use their allowance, something like USAA's Teen Checking, or Wells Fargo teen checking, is a better way to go. Your local credit union may have good options as well. Kids need bank accounts, not prepaid fee magnets."
