I still write checks for the bills....:0003

Probably.. I probably haven't written 10 checks in the last 10 years. My bills are paid with online banking.

I'm with ya....Pay cash to the places within walking distance. My insurance man is a lifelong friend whose son played at WVU, so my visits to his office could last an hour or so. :0008

Yep you're old school. When in line and I see someone pull out the check book I just roll my eyes.
All my bills are paid online, I use a debit card when out and buy a lot online.
You should try it, so much easier!

What the fuck???:scared

Are you telling me there are places in the USA where you are waiting in line and somebody in front of you can pay by cheque (Canadian spelling:SIB)?

The last time I saw somebody pay by cheque these things were sitting on the counter..........

The last time I saw somebody paying for something via cheque was like in 1991 or right around there, it boggles my mind that one can still pay for something with a cheque, holy hell:scared

Exactly, beyond belief that it still is accepted in large cities, yet very rarely. I can see old school holding up many lines, yet yelling at them if they were holding him up with something else. :mj07:

I use debit card or cash in stores...

Believe it or not I too frown at folks who write a check in line for purchases.

I still write checks for bills to be paid like Mort,gas,heat,internet..

I ain't as crusty as you folks think....:0003

You really should try online bill pay. Once you do you won't go back. Certain bills like mortgage, you just set for auto pay and never even have to do anything unless the payment changes. Go electronic and get all your bills online in email, then go to bill pay and pay it in a matter of seconds. Just try it, it's free too. Some bills, like cell phones, if you do auto pay from your checking gets you a discount. Switching to electronic statements often gets you a discount too. I don't think any of my bills come in the mail anymore. Create a new email account just for your bills only. Then save all your receipts in a special folder that you create just for that purpose.

Pay all bills by check. Credit card only for gas and travel. Cash for almost everything else.



First (and only) time I used a credit card for gas I got a phone call a day later that some in CA was using my credit card to pay uber?.It's been cash ever since :mj07:
