    In 2023 that’s kind of like complaining the kids aren’t learning cursive…

    Like, that used to be something people had to do multiple times a day. I carry some “emergency bills” in my wallet just in case, but I can’t remember the last time I actually used cash to buy something at a store.

      It’s not about counting the cash, it’s about being able to count using different amounts. Adding them together and being accurate. I don’t care about the money part of my statement. I care that people graduating high school and college aren’t able to what should be simple addition.

          It’s not something I do every day but I was taught how to do simple math and retained it. Again, it’s not the cash I’m concerned with.
