Hmm. Yes, you can balance your checkbook just knowing how to add and subtract. If, that is, you're kinda clever. I figured out how to locate uncashed checks (even when there were several) on my own, for example.
On the other hand, filling out my little transaction booklet was something my Mom taught me early on. How one column is for debits, one for credits, and one for the running total. So there are some things to learn beyond the basic adding and subtracting. Dana wrote: > I disagree. People should know how to balance their checkbooks, but it's > basic math after all.
