Bank Account Register
My 17-year-old daughter recently opened a bank account at our Credit Union. She’s always had a savings account but switched over to a checking account that she would have better access to.
Yes! A Checking Account. BUT, apparently, it is not common to use checks these days. The guy at the bank looked at me like I had three heads when we asked to order checks. I inquired why checks aren’t used these days and he said everyone uses debit cards. We opted to forgo checks for now. Oh my! We didn’t even get a Bank Account Register. Say What?
Although we chose not to order checks, at this point, our 17-year-old still needs a way to track withdrawals and credits to her account. My mind is totally freaked out by all this! I get the whole paperless movement but we’ve gotta keep track of what’s in our accounts, for goodness sake!
