Answer 2

I see you really trust your own beloved mother!  In order to buy anything with a

personal check, you must: a) use a check

that has your name/address/and maybe

phone number printed on it  b) have an I.D. with a personal photograph of you on it.

  When you get your state I.D. and it has a

photo of you on it, then it's good to use for

cashing checks.

NOTE:  I will say tho that if you are under

18 years of age, I doubt anyone will accept

a personal check from you, even with tons

of I.D.

Another Note:  Since you are just starting out in the financial world, please do not

try to cut any corners, or pull any tricks,

you will be found out and once your honesty

is gone, noone will trust you ever with money.
