I was given an unreasonable amount of unsecured credit when I turned 18, by virtue, apparently, of the fact that I was now 18. It certainly wasn't because I had any stable income or assets.

My point was that larger credit limits typically come on unsecured cards, not secured ones.

For example, I can get a $20k limit card. It's pretty unlikely that you can get a secured card with a $20k limit.
