I wrote zero paper checks in 2021. I may never write another one. All of my payments are now by other means. * Credit card. * My bank’s “bill pay” mechanism. (HOA dues {automatic monthly payment}, my tax guy, charitable contributions, etc.) * In-app payments (Amazon, Apple, Farmers Insurance, etc.) * EFT – state & federal income taxes come directly out of my checking account. * Automatic utility payments (electric bill and T-Mobile). * Cash – parking meters and small purchases.

Less than one, on average. Meaning I might write one every couple years or so. Usually to some old school tradesman. But even then, I often just give them cash. All my bills are paid through bank bill pay or autodrafts. All my purchases are on a card, with cash, or through electronic payment. Reimbursing friends and family is easy with Venmo/Paypal/Zelle/etc. Even most tradesmen like electricians and plumbers take electronic payments these days. | |||

I paid the plumber, the yard guy and someone else I can't recall right now. I'm gonna say three. | |||

Probably two a year. My range fee is one of them. My CCW renewal was another, but this year they switched to an online system that you can pay with card. | |||

Twelve. I pay my rent with checks. Since I have far more checks than I need - the printer makes a minimum of ~200 - I'll sometimes write a check to the electric company to use them up. Everything else - including the electric via my credit union's bill pay service - is online or with credit/debit card. | |||

3 or less. "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Several hundred. Well over a thousand if you include the store. I pay everything all my bills via check. I don't own a debit card. I have a personal and business CC. Pay them monthly via check. I'm an outlier I know. __________________________ Writing the next chapter that I've been looking forward to. | |||

In 2020 I wrote 6. None last year. Will write none this year. You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

Less than 10. DMV, Couple of birthday gifts for kids and a few more. I remember back about 45 years ago when I was new in banking. The girls 'upstairs' had go through each account and sort, bundle and send check statements out each month. Bookkeeping was half of our staff then.

Maybe 10 per year. But I remember when checks ruled. In Charlottesville, VA in the late 1960's the restaurants had a stack of blank checks, with nothing on them but a space to write a local bank name and account number. You would order your lunch and pay with a check on which you wrote your bank name and your account number, and they trusted you that of course it would be a real account and of course you had money in the bank to cover it. | |||

It behooves me to say, "We're being watched". (Or read) Anyway, half a check per year. | |||
