You know you can still "balance your checkbook" in 2021 baw. It's just all electronic now. And you use cards instead of cheques.
Reading comprehension isn’t high on your list “baw.” I’m in the industry and well aware of electronic means.

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

I don’t get all thr Boomer hate on the OT. I’m a Boomer and haven’t had a checkbook in years. I do most everything online.

No. Don't need to.

Check the checking account and all cc bills once a month, looking for anything shady/weird charges.
I always keep a 5k buffer in checking account that I mentally say is $0 to prevent any overdrafts and to be able to take a few grand cash out of checking without worry in case of a disaster like a hurricane or something.

It's just a popular thing to do on social media. Half of the people who like to complain about Boomers
have Boomer parents.

That’s only for the poors.

Balancing your checkbook nowadays is checking your bank account online.
It's not a boomer thing, it's a responsible person thing. It's just called something different now.
I manually input my bank transactions into YNAB every 3-4 days. I don't like importing.

Not in 25+ Years.

Boomer here, and I haven't balanced a checkbook in almost 30 years. I just keep far more money in the account than I spend. only poors have to balance a checkbook.
Posted on 4/21/21 at 9:00 pm to SaintlyTiger88
I pay for everything with a credit card and then pay it off every week I get paid. That’s all the balancing I do.
Posted on 4/21/21 at 9:05 pm to SaintlyTiger88
frick no. That’s some boring arse shite right there.
