What year did you stop writing checks and balancing your checkbook?

I wrote two today

I still write checks and balance my checkbook. I could write a check to bottom out my account and leave $.01 in it and that check wouldn’t bounce.

I still take checks. Don't cost me as much a credit. I can deposit the check instantly and prices almost as fast as a credit card.
Money often clears that day. Only one time in last two years did a check bounce.

If you have young kids in school, you still use a checkbook

I still write a couple of checks per month on average. Mostly one-off expenditures thst will charge extra if using a credit card.

Does your housekeeper take Venmo? Ours is the only one we write a check to.

Cashapp and Zelle.

I write quite a few checks for business related thing, but as far as personal business goes, not much. With online banking I’ve quit balancing the checkbook because it pretty much does it for you online.

Never did it in my life. My mom handed me off to my wife, and my wife runs that show. She’s an accountant. For about ten years I didn’t even know the name of our bank.

Is this a thing?

I write 2-3 checks per month and balance the account to the penny once per month.
