    Just was discussing this with a friend the other day. In school they taught us cursive, how to balance a checkbook, do math by hand since a calculator will rarely be around. How to develop film, going in person to ask for job applications to fill out. Using paper maps, writing physical letters and mailing them. Doing research in libraries and using encyclopedias. The Dewey Decimal System. Skiing in the snow, observing fireflies. Learning about checks and balances, democracy.

    Life is much simpler being a regular middle class kid living with your parents than an adult millionaire everyone knows and expects money from. He never knew what actually being broke and responsible for yourself or a family as an adult was.
