Amish Secrets for Keeping Bank Accounts Fat and Happy

Teens Experience Freedom Through Rumspringa

“Rumspringa,” which roughly translates to “running around,” is a rite of passage for Amish teens between 14 and 18. It’s their chance to step outside the tightly-knit Amish community and experience “English life” (a.k.a. the rest of the world). During this time, Amish teens get to try things like driving cars, wearing modern clothes, and maybe even partying a little.

It’s not about rebellion, though—it’s about making an informed decision. After the experience, they can choose whether to stay in the community or join the “English” world permanently. It’s like a gap year but with a lot more barn-raising and a lot fewer Instagram selfies.
