I miss paying by check
Vince in Milwaukee:
My direct deposit hit my account today. I went online and attempted to pay my car insurance bill with my debit card (cheaper rate that way). Their site said my #s were not valid. ??? WTH. Looks like I will be giving them a call tomorrow. Am I a technologically inept Ludite who hates new things, or was the old way better? I know that computers and tech are the way of the future, but sometimes this $h!t is just a PIA!

I still pay our utility bills with checks. Also, my car/bike insurance.
Otherwise, it's cash or card.
And, it's amazing how much I use a card compared to just ten years ago.
Everything changes, I guess.

Did some volunteering before Christmas, manning a kettle to collect donations. Nobody has coins anymore! :-\ :BEER:

I haven't had a checkbook since 2001 - no issues. No idea how much I've saved on stamps, envelopes, etc. Prolly enough for at least a couple beers...

I work in retail and I hate checks. They take longer to fill out than swiping the card (others in line get upset) and most of them are scams unfortunately. I get probably 5 retail checks a week and at the end of the month probably 30% come back NSF, fraudulent, stolen etc... big pain.
