I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve never used a check in my entire life.

What is this old timey bullshit? Why not a burlap sack of fucking pieces of eight?

I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve never used a check in my entire life.

How is this possible? How did you pay your bills before online billpay systems - did you pay them all by phone?

I'm in my early 40s and still use checks now and then.

He must have been homeless his entire adult life.

I'm mid 40s and didn't get a credit card until I was 25. And I couldn't even pay for any utilities, rent or car payments with it. And still can't. Online bill pay wasn't a thing until like after the recession.
