Kids should understand banking, budgeting, and the idea of an emergency fund long before reaching college age.

To be honest, you're much better off sorting out financial education out in high school (I mean with your own high school aged children) than waiting till college. If they are the responsible sort they won't have a problem anyway. If they are not, then they will take out more credit cards whether you want them too or not. You need to do your level best to make them responsible as they grow up not at 18.
