Solution

The strategy that is NOT good for building credit as a young adult is: "Open a checking account, and start using a debit card".

This is because using a debit card does not help build credit. Debit cards allow bank customers to spend money by drawing on funds they have deposited at the bank. Credit cards allow consumers to borrow money up to a certain limit in order to purchase items or withdraw
