Re: How long does a check book last for you?

By the way, I only use envelopes that have that safety thing on the inside....you can't see through those envelopes either.

What is this word....""Checkbook""??! Only women seem to write checks. I think the Bank should charge more for the check processing process.

Oh please......why do you think that way?????

I don't do online because I have no trust. I don't use cards for the same reason. I still write checks. My DD and my best friend do the exact opposite. They do everything online and when problems arise, they call me to help them out. LOL How long they last? Depends on them mostly. I try to write 4 or 5 a month and I'm good. Smile

Same with me Preds...... Some time I use more in one month and less in the next....... I pay all my own bills by check......that's the way it will be until........

We still use checks as well...only for water, gas, electric, and auto/home insurance...I know the dangers, but we're just old fashioned that way...and "surprise" we still use cash. {#emotions_dlg.laugh} LOL

Hi blue.......good to see you today.

Hey, there ain't anything wrong with being "old fashioned"....... LOL

I do have a debit card, but no credit cards......stay out of trouble that way.......and don't buy unless I have it to pay for immediately.....

Women? DH writes all his bills with checks. He also gets a copy back on them with his statement. My father also uses checks only for the same reason. It comes in handy when they have an issue and need to prove a payment. Some people don't have a computer or access to do certain things. A check, or cancelled check, is their salvation.

I write a lot but this maybe giving out too much information. Trying to reason what information is too much?

Forever. I don't write checks, too often.

A box of checks lasts me forever. I write two checks every six weeks or so -- the dog groomer and my hairstylist.

Re: How long does a check book last for you?

I have a leather checkbook that has lasted very nicely for at least 15 years so far. Still in great shape. Now that one doesn't carry a checkbook around anymore, I'm sure it will outlast me.

Last time I bought checks was over 10 years ago (two boxes) and I still have several books of those. Smiley Happy
