The first time I needed to write a check, I had no idea how. My (27 yo) boyfriend was shocked, but thought it was cute. My daughter is 12 and has no clue about checks. Maybe I'll give her a lesson when she gets a little older. When I was 19 I moved out of my parents’ house and in with my then boyfriend. The first time I needed to write a check, I had no idea how.

Kids can go spend the entire day. They are given an assignment of a career, family size, car, bills, home/rent, etc. They must go throughout their day using debit/credit cards, checkbooks and paying for various bills plus balancing their budgets. At the end of the day, they get a print that tells them how they did staying within their budget and how they might improve their spending actions. It was really a very cool experience for them.
