  Do you think they'd fare much better with budgeting physical cash?

    I certainly didn’t. I remember getting cash as a young child, thinking with $20 I was “rich”, and rapidly blowing it on Sim City. I only understood the value of money once I both had a bank account and a job that funded it.

      Sim City isn't a bad way to spend $20 in fairness

    You don't have kids, do you? Addition and subtraction are abstract concepts that are learned around age 5-6. It starts with tangible objects, pictures, ect. Cash is a tangible object that helps teach the concept.
