Checks

Do you write checks to pay your bills or do you pay them online? Why? If you do use checks, how many do you use per month? I use checks. I tend to use between 3-11 depending on the month.

I write chcks, only 4 or 5 a month usually. I just prefer the old fashioned way of paying my bills. Even though they say it is safe to pay most bills on-lie, I don't think it really is.

I get nervous, too. I've heard too many horror stories. I also have a great bank. So, I like having proof thbrough them that I paid by check for something.

Checks, 20 to 30 per month, I just haven't caught up to the times I guess!

I only use one check and it's to pay my rent bill. Everything else is done online with a credit card. I think it's easier to do it online or with a credit card because you can see that the payment is pending and when it will be released to be taken out of your account. Checks are tricky and sometimes aren't taken out until 2 weeks after you've written it.
