Thank you so much! I am 19 years old and barely learning how to do this, the School system really failed us.

Actually thanks a bunch, I’m 17 almost 18 and have my own job and everything ready to go but my parents always take my money whenever it comes it, this’ll be so useful in a few months when I turn 18

Cheers dude! You should definitely learn this at school these days.

I just spent 1.5 hours going through your video with my little brother and I thank you for your simplicity.

This really should be a thing that's covered in schools. What's the point of school if it doesn't prepare us for anything?

what if you have to set up the bank account to set up your direct deposits for your job so you have money? how would this work? they don't give us paper checks

Ok when I open up a Checking Account I pay how much the checking account is Do I have to put something in the Checking Account to keeping it open.

turned 16 2 months ago and im hired to a job I just needed this

[helenwrong]

I just realized that I’ll be 18 in 11 months, so I’m watching this.
I had no idea that some employers have automatic deposits. Makes life a lot simpler.
I also had no idea that you could be apart of many banks.
