I hate trying to go back and update my card info. I missed my land line phone bill this last time and siince we aren't on top of opening our mail (because everything looks like a letter trying to sell additional services) we got dangerously close to having our phone service cut off. I feel for businesses that try to bill us for a random charge, because if it isn't set up on autodebit it is going to take them a while to get paid.

It saves so much time to not deal with that little annoying task anymore. My dad is an accountant and incredibly type A. I am 46 years old, and I still worry that my father will discover my non-bank-balancing status.

And no, ...I write two checks a year, that's it. And no, I haven't balanced a checkbook in years, but my sister still does. It makes her feel better to see every penny accounted for. It takes all kinds, Gigi. Good thing we're not all alike! :-)DJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07152183871573797791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-34006375766962945672017-06-16T21:06:22.197-04:002017-06-16T21:06:22.197-04:00I balance an actual checkbook, and write checks ea...I balance an actual checkbook, and write checks each week for bills. (I'd tried to set them up with online payments, but then our credit card keeps being compromised and then everything had to be re-set each time. Or else money was directly withdrawn from our bank account and I felt like we could be overdrawn without me knowing it.)<br /><br />But when we went to make some changes to our account recently, the early-20s bank clerk said to me earnestly, "I see you Still Use Checks. So you might be interested in this account that comes with free checks!" And then when he was setting up our online access, he assumed I wouldn't know what a user name was. Those things together communicated very nicely that I was an anomaly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
