Often the real issue is that even when they go to an official site they are unable to process the information and understand what it is telling them.

There are two schools of thought.

One is we should spoon feed them because mommy mollycoddled them and didn’t think an education was that important

I am much harsher and go with the second school of thought which is force them to figure it out and become functioning adults

🤷‍♂️

I wouldn’t call that being thorough, I’d call it opening up yourself to the wrong information there is an official site for a reason, places to go for the correct info so Johnny down the block doesn’t feed you bs. And I’ve seen it happen over and over again especially this sub where the questions can be answered by typing in the search box in pa.gov. The way you’re doing it is harder and if you find info contradicting what you saw on the official site and go chasing confirmation on a false lead it’s wasting time, worse is straight believing the bs and ending in the position you’re afraid of in the first place. Best way to handle it would have been call your local dmv and get clarification on the documents.

No it didn't lol. The original question was how recent of a bill did I need to have (within the last year? within the last 3 months? Within the last month? Nothing was specified.) After reading someone's comment about paychecks I remembered I have a bank statement from last month and I can't imagine a society where that isn't a recent enough. I saw some states require them to be recent but PA didn't specify and I'd rather not turn up on my one day off work and not be able to get it that day.
