The Commander in Chief, is now using her IPad to FaceTime with relatives and friends. LOL.
I use checks to pay the cleaning lady, the woman who cuts my hair, the guy who came this morning to set up my new computer, I think the credit card charges merchants about 3%, and I'd rather save them the fee. I mostly tip in cash so the employer is not involved.The only person we pay by check is the cleaning lady.
Many merchants are now charging us the 3%.
And rotary phones work fine.
Ha! My doctor refuses to take checks--even ones the bank issues for me. I will ONLY take plastic or green stuff.Exactly what I do. Sometimes it comes in handy if I owe a small amount to a Doctor above the amount covered by insurance...

What is this "Leave Home" that you speak of?
I think it was something people used back when there was this thing called money.What's a checkbook?
Always. Live in a small rural town and most restaurants, merchants...prefer cause they don’t have to pay fees on checks. But then again, I also write letters, use stamps, have a landline. Not a total luddite. I do online bill pay. But here, the fastest internet speed available in 3 yes 3mps. But I have a waterfall in the backyard and a view of the Appalachian’s that won’t quit.
Yes, but it is significantly less than fees on credit card purchases.Do merchants have to pay a fee if you use a debit card?
Yes, but it is significantly less than fees on credit card purchases.
... I called every one of our CC cards and had the closing billing date set for the first of of the month. Our income from pensions/SS comes in on or before the first. Everything is paperless, and I get notifications that new statements are out there. I just go online about the 2nd/3rd...
... I do carry my checkbook when I travel, not sure why but I do.
