The Check Book

In this day and age where you can do online banking, use a pin and with some cards simply hold you card next to a reader check books seem to be getting less and less significant and if anything more of a pain. In big businesses I can understand why they are still used but I wonder if in day to day life people will ever stop using them?

Do you still own one? Do you use it frequently? Do you mainly use it for payments for bills or shopping?

We still have one and although the frequency of it's use has diminished greatly over the years, it still gets used.

I have a checkbook and I use it to check my balance against what the online records say, they're usually never the same.

I have one but I only write out checks to pay bills that I'm mailing in.

I carry it around just in case I end up somewhere that doesn't take credit or debit cards....but checks are largely obsolete now. My landlord takes checks, but I prefer to use a money order. If can't get one in time, then I'll write a check for that.

Have had my checking account for 3 years and am still on my starter checks. That should tell you how much I DON'T write out checks.

Might write one every few years.
