My wife and I was just talking about basic life skills and this question came up.

    I couldn’t get my checkbook to balance even back when we needed to do it. 🤷

    Those still exist? Have not written a check in 20 years. Online banking, DEBT card and one CC all you need to do everything in life. I can log in anytime I want and pay bills and download the months history into a .csv for excel if I can’t just read the balance and look at the transactions there on the screen while I’m logged in.

    Does anyone still even write checks?

    I do. If I didn’t I would totally be spending money I don’t have. It’s really just to keep me in check. And I do write checks still but not for much. Just to pay rent and for afterschool activities my kid does at school

    I even keep a small pad tracking my savings account. I check every transaction on my credit card as well.

    I just use a spreadsheet to track past, current and future purchases so I know I have enough money to cover everything. I haven’t balanced a checkbook since like 2005.

    I haven’t used a cheque in years. If I want to know where I stand, I open my banking app and look.
