My husband has been pretty much blind for the last 15 years.

He has no problem telling bill apart, because I control the finances, and he has no money, just a credit card.

Isn't that how it always works? :)

That being said, all credit card machines need to be changed so that blind people can tell the amount of the charge. Also, all receipts must be changed so that any blind person paying cash can get a receipt to match their purchase. My point being, how far should this go?!

Maybe their should be special accomodations for people that can see the money, but do not know how to count or spend it. Seriously, being blind is not a joke, but how far can things be pushed. I should not even mention these things here--in five years they will become reality.
