The people saying they can't balance a checkbook. Ummm, it is really easy. Adding and subtracting. You know, you want to have more coming in than going out. It is Cake and Pie

This boggles my mind as well

How does your bank charge for checkbooks? You mean the register where you write everything down or the actual cover that holds the register? Or the checking account that you set up with the bank?

They charge you 30 bucks to even get a checkbook

Banks should provide the check registers for free. If you mean the actual cover that holds the register, commonly called a checkbook, then yes, they would charge because you don't have to get it from them. You can buy one online. Amazon, Ebay, check printing companies. Some wallets and purses even come with them

Might mean the box of checks. Last time I had checks, that was a billable item. Got them cheaper with better print options elsewhere, but still had to buy them.

Ok, it is like this:

You put $100 in the checking account.

You write 1 check for $10
You write 1 check for $20
You write 1 check for $80

100-10=90
90-20=70
70-80= (-10) You messed up and are overdrawn, so put some more money
in your checking account. And, you may need to pay a fee for being overdrawn as well.

See, "cake and pie"
