I do in a phone app. It has some forecasting that is nice to see for my bill paying account.

Not my checkbook but I balance my bank account in a Google spreadsheet. I might write 3 or 4 checks per year.

I am over 50 years old. I do Consulting work for the Banking Industry.
I still have the original checks a bank gave me when I opened an account 20 something years ago. I can’t tell you the last time I’ve seen an actual paper check ledger book.
Why would anyone do that to themselves?

Checks are for the poors

i havent manually sent a check in 7+ years. I just press the button on my phone to send it if i need to send one.
Why would I need to balance a damn check book?
I personally dont even have one. wtf do you even need one for. just pay onw of the 25 different ways you can through your phone and have it come directly out. its not 1987 anymore.

My kids school doesn’t have online payments, so we still have to write checks. My wife writes a ton of checks.
We delayed ordering checks last year when we were selling our house and my wife ran out. I found a check book and thought I still had some left. Opened it and it still had my parents address on it. I haven’t lived at home in over 20 years.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

I use YNAB (you need a budget) so I guess technically yes I do balance my checkbook.

Sometimes I balance it on my dog's nose

If by viewing my balance every now and again through my banking or credit card apps and scanning for any suspect charges, then yes I do.

I didn't marry an accountant so I could balance books.

Every payday I write down the "bills" I have to pay. I do this via a note on my phone.
When I check my bank balance, I subtract the bills that haven't cleared yet, and make sure it's reasonable.
I don't write many checks at all, but I do have some things that come out at various times of the month, not all on payday.

I just use my baby mommas debit card

I’m 31 and I balance my checkbook once a week. Never write checks but still enter any auto drafts, credit card payments, etc.
Been doing it since I was 18
Just a habit now I guess. It’s aesthetic for me
ETA: To clarify, I balance by hand in a paper ledger. I’m 31 going on 81
