There are a few checks that I have to write such as my mortgage and water.  I also write checks at the feed mill and the vet.  Sometimes I wonder if it's really safe to be paying some of my bills online.  The more I hear the less safe it seems and I may quit paying online altogether and go back to mailing checks.  The convenience may not be worth it.

I very seldom wrote checks when I was living in CA, always used debit card, everyone prefered payment that way there..when I moved back home to my hometown here in TX, checks or cash only....turns out smaller businesses get charged a lot of fees for using debit and credit cards.. :peace: :heart:

I have some,,,,     I may write a check once in a great while.  usually just swipe my debit card.  isn't that what most people do these days ??? so much easier.  checks will be outdated here soon  lol  and people really look at you weird when you hand them cash like they don't know what to do with it  lol

I would assume some people still do. My father is old school and writes checks all the time. But there are times when we need a check. Like if we go to a doctor and they bill us, we need to pay by check. I am no fan of checks anymore. I pay everything direct from my bank.

I do write checks for various purposes, but most of my bills are paid automatically, directly from my checking account. Otherwise, I'd forget to pay them!

I seldom write checks.  I normally pay bills online.  If I write a check it maybe once a month if at all.   ;)

I hardly write checks with exception of a couple of annual payments and when I'm giving this to family members for special occasions. Most of my transfers are electronic and I love it.

I guess I am old school because I still write checks whenever possible.

I remember when my mother was still writing checks in her late nineties. (She's now 104!)  She got to where she wasn't sure if she was doing it correctly, so I started writing them for her. I write a check for her rent and medicine each month. I only write a few checks a year for myself.  I write so few that now I have to be careful that I, myself, are doing them correctly!
