No more checks?!!?

[JBcrjca]

I spent three years hauling cancelled checks, so I feel obligated to do my part to keep those freighters busy. I know that everything is going electronic these days, but I have yet to ever pay a bill electronically. I write about 15-20 checks per month, and I still buy stamps. Sometimes I'll buy something from the internet, of course...but other than that, I'll keep writing checks until they disappear completely. Besides, doesn't everyone love balancing the old checkbook?

There's one other thing to remember. You may not write any more checks, but a lot of businesses still do to pay vendors, contractors, etc. I would venture to guess that most of the checks I haul around are business-to-business and that's not going to change any time soon. Bean-counters still love the feel of paper.
