DO people still write checks?

[dogsleash]

I realized today when looking for my check book that i usually do not pay my bills or anything by check any more. I also realize that even most businesses have got to direct deposit. How many people out there write checks and if so how many each month?

[CharmedPhoenix]

I don't, but my bill pay writes one for my rent every month.  My older brother however uses paper money and paper checks all the time.  He doesn't have a computer and wouldn't use online banking or shopping even if he did.

Some people will not move in to the present. My grandmother was the same way. She retired the day after they got a new computer at work 30 years ago.

I have to pay my water & gas bill with a check.  For some reason, they don't use automatic billing.

Yes, for people who don't use computers.

I only write one or two checks a month these days.

I'm sure some people still do, however, I personally do not. I haven't written out a check in probably 8 years. I prefer to use my debit card and mentally keep a record. With online banking nowadays, it's just so much more convenient.

My mother still write checks, lol....We're trying to get her to pay all her bills online, so far she only pays one of them...She's slowly but surely entering the 21st century, one step at a time.

I never have been a check writer. I use my debit card or online bill pay.

[Kay0338]

I use checks for all our monthly bills. Just the way I prefer to do it.

I think I have written 10 checks in 3 years. Most for gifting purposes. But my mom still writes checks for everything. She pays all of her bills by check, and doesn't own a pc.
