4. Trouble Counting Money
It’s no surprise that people who don’t do well with math and numbers also don’t do well with money. Those who make it through school without being diagnosed with dyscalculia often struggle with different aspects of adulthood. One of the biggest is counting money. They may prefer to avoid using cash when possible because they can’t count it or make a change. They may also be unable to work in certain career fields that require the use of money.
People who have dyscalculia and struggle to count or understand money won’t be able to work as cashiers, bank tellers, or tollbooth operators. The condition can also affect their ability to understand money and numbers in other aspects of their lives too. They may easily get cheated for change, forget how much money they had, or understand how to pay bills and shop.
While using a debit or credit card might seem like a good option, their failure to understand the value of numbers makes this difficult as well.
