1) Balance our check books.

2) File annual income tax returns.

You don't have to do this anymore? The IRS may want to have a word with you.

How are you people getting away with not doing some of these things anymore? Even if you rent, you're paying property taxes indirectly.

This thread got me thinking about how many things have become more burdensome over the years and all I can think of at the moment is air travel.

That's a good one. I used to LOVE to fly. Now I won't if the trip is anything under 12 hours.

Physically get up and change the channel at the cable box by flicking those buttons, each channel had it's own little flicker thing

I balance my checkbook every day. It's only then that I realize I'm a long way away from being an OT Board baller.

Yikes! So many wrong numbers dialed... and so few TV channels to choose from.

Get up, walk over to the TV, and change to another of the 3 channels.

It's technically required for most wage earners and business owners, but - they don't really care if you don't owe them money.

They have a lot of other stuff to deal with.
