OTOH, I am not sure how many folks still use checks to pay bills!

Me. Makes it handier than a credit card to see when and how much I
paid
for something, even long ago. I suppose I could keep a file of credit
card statements in date order - but I don't.

You'd be screwed, here. No one provides canceled checks with
your statement. Few will actually *mail* you a statement!
So, you'd be forced to print online statements -- and then
keep those in date order (assuming you print "image copies"
of the checks and not just the "amount summaries").



I'm just referring to the check register, or whatever it is called. Where
you write the check number, date, payee and amount of each check when you
write them. Of course this does not prove the check was received, cashed,
etc. but it is usually correct, in my case I can't think of a case when
it wasn't.
