I hope things went better after that.<br /><br />I just had a long conversation the other day with my 6-year-old about debit vs. credit cards. We function mostly with cash, largely because that makes it easy to budget, so they&#39;re often with me when I make ATM withdrawals. So we&#39;ve talked about how the bank just holds our money for us, how we get the money out (the machine or debit card), and how you actually do have to pay for things when you use a credit card.<br /><br />I still have terrible money management skills, so I&#39;m happy to have them learning anything this early!Kendrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15226660244598032307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605816.post-66717923653669973612009-12-02T17:31:53.403-08:002009-12-02T17:31:53.403-08:00Wise beyond her years, that one.<br /><br />xxxooomom<br /><br /><br />Back in the day when WAMU was in our supermarket and ATM&#39;s weren&#39;t on every corner, I forgot MY checkbook. They were more than happy to front me the grocery $$ (I think I got $200).<br />Later I learned that savings account had a <br />WITHDRAWAL minimum of $500 or more!
