👉 Share this with someone who remembers the 90s!
Money felt very different in the 1990s. We wrote checks, waited for bank statements, carried cash, deposited paychecks in person and sometimes had money in our account that we literally couldn’t access because the ATM only gave out $20 bills. 😂
But here’s the bigger lesson for parents: money used to be much more visible. We watched it leave our wallets. Today, kids can tap, click and subscribe without ever seeing money disappear.
We don’t need to bring back the 90s. We do need to teach kids to pause, check their spending and understand where their money is going.
Which one of these brought back the biggest memory for you? 👇
