MONEY MANAGEMENT

[Duchess]

Really?

Banks over here don't even issue them any more unless you specifically request them. Then they charge you for the privelege.

Just about everyone does everything by EFT here nowadays. Just about everyone's wages are paid electronically. All my clients pay me by funds transfer. I submit all my invoices via email. My utilities all come out of my everyday banking account via direct debit so I don't have to worry about paying the fuckers. Same with all of the insurances.

I couldn't tell you to the cent what's in my account at any one time, but I'd know within a grand or two. They still send me a paper statement at the end of the month and I flick through it. Never had a real problem with it.

Really. I don't use my checks but I deposit my paycheck into my checking account and I pay my own personal bills electronically, I keep track of my money in my check register. The stable bills are paid by check, for example the blacksmith, the feed delivery, the hay guy, and racing fees, you get the idea and my boss is old school all the way, she even pays a fee to have her checks returned to her. She goes through more checks in a month than I'll go through the rest of my life. Even Mock has her own account. Ha!
