It really isn't that difficult. I have 2 sons in their early 20's. I got them both credit cards for college, and I co-signed them. They learned by example that mom and dad paid their credit cards off every month, and not to put anything on it you can't pay off. Both of my sons now have their own credit cards, and they pay them off in full. They see their friends though buried in credit card debt. They are both financially responsible. One that just moved out and got his own apartment, hasn't gotten cable or internet yet, because he is going out of town for 3 weeks.
So, it can be done.
