Personal finance: Take the spending challenge
You have your first part-time job, working weekends at the local grocery store during the school year. For the first time in your life, you are receiving a paycheck. You've been flooded with credit card offers and your parents have okayed a limited amount of credit for you, but the card company has given you more: $1,000 credit. Your parents think that's too high, but they are willing to let you see if you can manage it for four months. Can you?

The schools cited include Eleanor Roosevelt High School (Greenbelt), Montgomery Blair High School (Silver Spring), Patuxent High School (Lusby) and Walkersville High School (Walkersville).
