What’s a skill that everyone should have? - lemm.ee

Balancing a checkbook/bank account and understanding basic financial principles like compound interest.

Balance a checkbook?! Who even uses checks anymore… I bought a box once and have used maybe 3 over the last 10 years or so and definitely haven’t used any in the last few years.

I balance my checking account by logging into the mobile app and looking at the balance lol

I think some gen x and boomers still do their checkbooks to see if it agrees with their online statement.
C’mon boomers and gen xers, it’s the 90s! Get with the times and use quicken!
I think ‘balancing your checkbook’ nowadays means making financially sound decisions, not literally sitting there with an actual checkbook. I might be wrong though, I’m not a native English speaker.
