Cheques (checks) and cash from the ATM are free money

when ATM first came out...i thought they were giving out free money

I use to believe that as long as my mom had checks in her check book, she had money to spend, I did not know that she also needed money to be in her account at the bank to write a check.

when I was little, I believed that everyone could get any amount money they wanted for free at any ATM machine. I never actually tried this.

I saw my mom write a check at a store and asked her what it was. She said that you write the amount on the check and it works the same as money. From that day, I decided that I would always use checks and then I would always have money! I could just write a check!

Amy

When I was little I used to believe that my mom could buy whatever she wanted just as long as she had checks...checks were just as good as money and you didnt need the actual money, just checks. It is still a common joke in my family to this day!

I always thought that you could take as much money as you wanted out of the ATM machienes, and when you ran out of money, you could just go and get some more. It never occured to me that that money was ours.

Up until the age of 8, I believed that when you made withdrawls from the bank (which I did with my mom), the bank was just giving away free money...I REALLY wanted a bank account!

when i was younger i used to belive that them where lots of little men printing money out of the cash machine for the people that wanted it and you could have as much as you wanted.

When I was a kid, I thought the money from the ATMs was free and that it was printed on the spot.

I used to believe that as long as my parents had a checkbook and/or credit card they had money. What's funny is now my kids believe that also.
