Are checks going extinct?

Posted by admin on November 4th, 2010 . Filed under: Random .

JP got moved to a new job site and they have direct deposit, so of course we opted for that so it’ll be one less trip to the bank I have to make. I wrote down our account & routing number for him, they told him that a voided check is needed for direct deposit. Problem. We don’t have any checkbooks, I never ordered them. We pay all our bills online, there is no need for checks. Soo I got to thinking, I can’t be the only one like this. Do you use checks at all? Do you use them all the time? Are you that person at the grocery store that writes a check for a bag of bananas? Am I the only person without a checkbook? I promise I’m ordering one soon, maybe even with nauseating cute pictures on it.

How do you pay your bills?

    I actually use checks now. I use to pay online. But then there was an unfortunate “computer glitch” that resulted in our car payment being taken out 100 times and our bank account being negative $36,000.00!!! For FOUR months! So I must say, I am paranoid and only use checks!

    LOL cute header on your homepage.

    I use checks more often now – I pay the Boyfriend rent and then he pays it online. I also have been using it to write checks to previous landlords.. and also to sign up for team sports.

    I pay everything online that I can. I write out checks for rent. I do keep a large purse so I usually carry my checkbook and I’m happy I do since the grocery store’s system was down last week and they could only accept cash or check. All I was buying was a soda and a candy bar but I needed it since I just got a “no cavity” report from the dentist, haha!

    I do everything online, but your bank should have a direct deposit sheet that can be filled out and submitted to payroll just like a void cheque. It’s what I’ve always used since cheques cost me money.
