I have a hodge-podge of payment methods going but nothing via paper check.

I allow 2 or 3 monthly auto deductions from my checking account.

I auto charge 1-2 monthly payments direct to my AMEX. The largest per month being PayPal.

I manually E-pay 2 to 3 monthly from my checking account.

Sounds confusing but I understand it.

I just E-paid my State Income taxes and my Federal Taxes due vie E-payment from my checking account.

Only to our trash service. They do not have online payments. Everything else is online

I hand one to the lawn guy every two weeks in the summer, other than that I can't remember the last thing I used a check for.

Not mailed, but I give donations at church and use the checks with my old address. Plus the kids are the one to give the envelopes so they pay attention at the proper time. It allows me to track donations since I see the checks hit my bank versus cash donations.

We have the option to do online giving, but the kids get to be part of the giving.

I cannot remember the last time I wrote a check, never mind mail one. For many years now I always pay everything using a debit card, and then mostly online. I don't have anything that I pay that doesn't have an APP or Website available to pay. I suppose we still have a box with checks somewhere in the house, but I don't know where.

I write two per month. One for my rent, the other for my part of the building utility bill.

We still write and mail a check for our city water bill every 3 months. That's the last thing still on paper checks in our household. They accept electronic payment but charge a $5 fee for doing so. No thanks.

I mailed rent every month at my last place of residence. Now, LL lives downstairs of me, so, "no more".
