| I'm an outlier I know
So am I! There are very few businesses that I allow to directly access my account. Why? Here's why:
I have a lawn company that comes over to maintain my lawn in the warmer weather. They "direct bill" me (i.e. charge my credit card). This year, there were two instances where the charges were questionable. I called the company and wanted to close the account. I was given a story about personnel changes due to Covid, etc., etc.
When the services are done, my lawn looks spectacular (as long as I do my part). I told them, one more questionable service charge and they are done!
I'd hate to have to monitor all the companies I have services done with. Easiest way, write a paper check! Problem solved!!! |

| 35 last year. A monthly sub-contractor, a few other contract jobs, taxes, a few local businesses that don't do the CC thing at all, a couple medical bills... It's seldom enough that I don't carry a checkbook; I just have a few checks in my "paper brain."
=== I would like to apologize to anyone I have *not* offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

| Last check I wrote was the next to last mortgage payment on my house 18 mths ago Friend that held the mortgage likes it old school The next check I handed him was a certified bank check to pay my house off 3 weeks later he passed away, I’ll forever be indebted to him for his assistance. I’m happy I repaid his loan while he was still alive. Face to face

| Before looking at my check register, I guessed about 60. Turns out I was a tad low. I wrote 79 checks in 2021. What can I say, I'm old school... |
