Post Maths

I try to teach my Foster boys to always count their pocket money and know *exactly* how much they have to avoid embarrassment , they fight it because maths are difficult .

I have problems with anything over basic math my own self .

Some years ago I was dating a really sharp Ghetto girl and she pointed out that most cashiers in he Ghetto tried to short change her ~ never over change, only short change .

I notice that few cashiers anywhere these days bother to count out the change they hand me.....

Trust NO ONE when it comes to money .

I too use the credit card often, it allows me to budget .

I've always wondered about that 'cash back' jazz, I don't understand it and so have never tried to use it .
