[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 324262, member: 2459"] Ugh. I'm sorry...Hugs. That hoovers. I was wondering though...and I don't know how helpful this would be but..... Some day when all involved are in good (or reasonably good) moods, how about you and Eyeore take a trip to the nearest ATM. Tell him you're going to show him how it works so you (you you, not him you) have money to get groceries. Get there, show him the screen, buttons, card slot, etc. Then tell him to put his card in. When he tells you that he doesn't have a card, say "Oh that's right, you need a checking account to get a card. Do you have a checking account?" When he says no, say, "Well, we can use mine but I have to see how much is in the account"...and just go from there. Maybe if he sees the reciept with the balance on it ("fix" it ahead of time so it shows a low amount to teach him instead of explaining that while you have $500 in the bank, there are bills to pay with it) he can make the connection between the machine and the bank account. Or maybe not....just a thought. I know it hooves....hugs. Wish I could say more. [/QUOTE]
