We still write some checks but not too many.  We write checks to our Church, to the tax ofc and places like that but otherwise I pay bills online and I am the only one who carries the debit card.  My husband carries cash and I carry the card.  Works really well for us.

It's so easy to swipe a card to buy things. Do you use checks anymore? I got a good deal last year and I bought 4 boxes and it's now taking forever for me to use!

The only thing I use a check for is when a particular company doesn't have a "one time" payment option.  I do not like to have "automatic" payments because I don't like companies sticking their sticky fingers in my money!!!!  So they just get a check in the mail!!!

I have not written a check in over 2 years. I don't really see the purpose of them anymore... even to just send money to person either a gift card or PayPal. Why waste the paper??

I do. Just not crazy about so many people having access to my cards. If i am going to write a check it makes me stop  and think. Do i really want to but this item. with debet and credit cards it is so easy to over spend. Besides it is just another way of keeping record of everything.

I rarely write checks one or two a year at the most.  I always use online bill pay or my debit card.  My son has of late become concerned about the debit card because his got stolen not physically stolen but someone made a copy of it using one of those skimmers somehow.  It stinks.

I write only a few each month for items bought locally, church, etc. and for bills that require complicated procedures to pay online.  The price of stamps is pricing USPS out of the market, especially now that paying online is easy and offers free transactions.

I haven't used checks in a long time. But I realized that I needed one when I went to the doctor. I did not have cash on me so I said to bill me. I have to get a check from someone to send to the doctor. I guess I will give the money to my father and have him write out a check. I don't find the need to use checks anymore.
