Re: Question- does everyone still use a checkbook?

I do. I don't write checks because I hate waiting for them to clear but I use my transaction register. I am very anal about making sure the register matches what it says online. I always have to know exactly how much I have in my checking account.

Re: Question- does everyone still use a checkbook?

Yes, just like I have for the past 25 years.
I don't do online banking.
I still don't trust it to be completely secure.

I must be the only one that still balances a checkbook and do online banking.



Nope, I do too. I write everything in my checkbook and balance it out every month. I like having that second check on the bank and vice versa.

Re: Question- does everyone still use a checkbook?

We still use checks & I still balance the checking accounts. We have our own individual ones & our joint one. We also use on-line banking too.

My job is accounts payable so if everyone only used on-line banking I would probablly be out of a job.

Re: Question- does everyone still use a checkbook?

I balance my checkbook, but I do it in Excel and not in my checkbook register.

I use online banking and online bill pay for all of our household bills, but I pay all of my horse-related bills with checks... so I write a good number of checks every month.

I still keep a checkbook and I dont know how to stop. Chat Icon

I dont understand how quicken works. How do you keep track of all the transactions that you do?

I really want to not have a checkbook but cant figure out how to do it.

Any advice?



Chat Icon I don't have Quicken, but I do use a Computer softwareto keep track of our banking. You enter transactions like you would in a check register ( date, amount, payee) but the software is set up to do fancy things like sort your transactions into categories & show youcharts of how much money spend.

We never write checks on the go. If we are writing a check & don't have the computer on, we actually write in on the back of the check book (DH has tiny handwriting!). I don't debit often, but if I do, I keep those receopts & ATM receipts in a envelope & DH enters them once a week.

I do and for the past 4 1/2 years, I've been able to balance it to the penny (I've had many checking accounts and have never been able to).

Re: Question- does everyone still use a checkbook?

I don't use my checkbook at all. I write maybe 4 checks per year, and they have the carbon copies in there so I don't do anything else.
