Featured Panel cut stems w/ frosted "S" mark on the bottom - need help please.

It's mostly direct deposit, but we old people still enter it into the checkbook register.

 

Yes ours is direct deposit but I would never be able to keep track of anything if I did not write it down. I am one of those OCD folks that my accounts have to balance to the penny always.

 

If you are "as old as you feel" .... oh dear.

 

LOL...I did that too..until about 10 years ago. It was starting to drive me crazy when I was even a few cents off...and then I just said..."who gives a shi*" . I made better use of the hour(s) it would take me to balance it all....

 

I'm with you Peggy (my dad was the same way).

 

When we got married back in '73 he already had a checking account so we just turned it into a joint account. Since I had more time I took care of the bill-paying stuff because he was still finishing college & working at the nuclear plant plus he played in a wedding-type band.

Three months later I informed him that we were opening a new checking account because I had no idea how much money we had in the account. The man could do complex calculus equations but he sucks at balancing a checkbook.

Almost 48 years later I still take care of all banking & I must admit since online banking started I have not actually balanced a checkbook. I take 5 minutes every morning to give it a quick glance that everything is good.

 

I check my bank account every day, being paranoid. Keep a spreadsheet which I download transactions to.

 

A few years ago..had to change banks when my local one closed. They have lots of online stuff. Was scared of online banking...but now love it !!! Takes no time to check that all is ok !

 

When I discovered online banking back in the early 2000s is when we changed from dial-up to high speed.
