I do use Quicken though. It really does make banking easier and more

I don't recall ever balancing a checkbook in my life... I put money in, I
write checks, they don't bounce, end of story. Most recurring charges are
on autopay so I don't even write that many checks anymore. I keep the
CostCo credit card on paper since the bill comes at the end of the month
and I use it to jog my memory if there's anything else I should be paying.

I get mine automatically paid off in full at the end of the month from the
account
that pays the best interest rate on my considerable savings that I can find.

My banking used to happen this time of the year when I'd stop by to do an
IRA contribution but I can't even do that anymore.

The power company includes the monthly usage summary for the last year
with every bill. This winter was better than last winter but this frigging
month is going to put paid to that. I was going to take a walk in the
woods this afternoon, started the car, warmed it up, and made it a mile
and a half before saying 'Screw this! It's 6 degrees out there.' and
turning around. I'm getting pussified in my old age.
