It wasn't til I retired that I finally got direct deposit. I would go to the bank to cash my check every month. Since I moved and retired, I hardly walk into a bank. I even pay all my bills on line thru my bank's "bill pay". It's so easy and I like it better than having the company take it out. I do it when I want to. Once you get all your debtors info input, you simply put the amount and click pay. No stamps, no mailing. I keep track of what/when I pay thru my checkbook, but each transaction is kept track of on-line too. I can even easily switch money from my savings to checking or vice versa. I really have to ask myself why it took so long.
That being said though, for some reason I still haven't gone paperless, where the statements are sent to me via e-mail. I still have them send me a copy. I guess I like to have a "physical" copy for my files.
