Why pretend that your 7-year old's wicked Sanrio addiction isn't going to lead to some very serious debt problems later in life? Start the paper trail now by getting your kids their own Hello Kitty Debit Mastercard. The card is pre-paid, like the teen-targeted Visa Buxx, so parents can control the spending. Is this teaching kids about financial responsiblity at all or just making them more brand-crazy?
