DEL.ICIO.USOld-school or online? How do you pay your bills?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In this age of online everything- banking, dating, shopping, I still chose to do some things the old-fashioned way…I use paper.
I use this manner of record keeping particularly when it comes to banking. I will confess that I can view my banking info online, but for whatever silly, scared or illogical reason, I can’t quite seem to make the switch to online payments.
Every time I go to the grocery store and one of my children is with me, they make fun of me as I open my checkbook to record the transaction. They’ve told me that they rarely see anyone pulling a checkbook register out of their pocket anymore. Is it that I’m in my 50s? Nah, I don’t think so. It’s not that I’m afraid…I suppose it’s just about replacing old habits with new ones.
I’ve heard it’s very simple to pay bills online, so why on earth wouldn’t I just do it? Do any of you still jot down numbers in an old fashioned checkbook? Or have you made the switch to paying bills online? And lets hear some good arguments for both sides!

I pay all my bills online. It’s so easy and it saves time and gas from running to the Post Office or to a drop box.

How we pay our bills will no longer matter if the thug culture succeeds in getting the halfbreed elected.

Keith, I didn’t know a halfbreed Fayco redneck was running for office. Thanks for the warning!
