I used to spend a lot of time with my Grandmother and one time we were at the store and I asked if we could go somewhere else after that and she said no because she did not have any money and I said "Well, you have all that paper in your wallet, why not just use that!" I was talking about her checks. I thought at that you could just write checks and that was your money. I didn't connect the fact that it was your money that you were using out of the bank!
