How many checks do you write in a month?

[CR94]

I probably average about half a check per month for miscellaneous, not any regular bill. I have an eccentric friend who says he likes writing checks, and probably averages more than one per day.

whats a check?

Just when paying for town taxes and excise taxes and other town stuff. At most 8-10 a yr. I'll bet the checks are 20 yrs old.

2-4 a month. I may write one, my wife does 2-3.
More during the school year since a lot of the kids things are easier to pay by check (and they charge more if paying by CC, and don't have direct withdraw option).

I bought 500 checks several years ago and have about 1/3 left.

I write one at least once a week - the daycare I take the kids to takes checks and I pay them once a week. The garbage collection company also only takes checks - no online bill pay available, so I write a check to them once a month. Annual car taxes are also paid by check, to avoid a surcharge for using a credit card online. Everything else is paid online or with a credit card.

1 a month. And it irritates me.

Some charities. Payment for magazines.

ZERO

 

[PandaBear]

About once every 6 or so months. Usually big amount for professional services instead of store purchases.

 

[ARB1977]

Hardly ever. Mostly during my sons baseball season.

 

[SevenBizzos]

Two a month. Because that entity only takes cash and checks. I never carry cash, so that method isn't happening.

once or twice a month to people I TRUST.

I don't give strangers a check that has my account # and routing number at bottom! For strangers I use USPS money orders, safer, more secure than cash!

 

[Bud]

None.

 

[eljefino]

My kids' schools are the last holdouts. And my landline phone company.

And the darn schools make me prepay for stuff 6 weeks in advance then hold onto the $11 check for twice as long before bothering to cash it.

1 or 2 year

 

[raburn2906]

I've written two in the last three years.

 

[Silk]

Never, we haven't had a cheque book for a long, long time.
