Have you ever written a check?
I don't write cheques cause most places accept interact e transfer or I just use my credit card. I once cashed a pay cheque online which scared me cause if the writing was messy and not recognized by the TD app that might be two weeks of pay down the drain with no way to get my money back. I did it when the winter was very bad and leaving the house was near impossible so I could not visit a bank to cash it.
I’ve never written a check in life that I can recall. I like to pay in cash upfront even if its thousands and thousands, so be prepared to sit down and count it out.

The last time I wrote a check was probably back in my second year of college as a way to pay back my grandparents for the money they loaned me for my tuition. They wouldn’t accept cash and it took me forever to find my checkbook because it had gotten lost as I’d never bothered to use it since high school when I got it lol
I have had a cashiers check written for a significant transfer from one bank to another (cheaper than a wire transfer). As for a check for something, probably 2003.
This afternoon...
Twice.
First, to our Gardener.
Next, to my niece.
I usually give 'em checks because that's what they prefer.
I purchased my first car outright (without a loan) recently. And they only accepted checks. The salesman drove me to the bank (wife dropped me off expecting me to be able to drive away) and receive temp checks.
First time in 10 years. Prob go another 10.
Lol someone's been living under a rock
I have a credit card that I use for online purchases only. I pay it in full every month with a money order I get at my bank.
I'm not sure if I still have a cheque book, and if I do then I'm damned if I know where it is!
I do however know that my husband keeps a business cheque book (for emergencies!)
energy bill. our energy company charges a fee for online payments so we still write and send checks monthly
That last one was at least 10 years ago.
Mainly, My Bills Come Out Electronically but I do Write a Check Monthly for my Capital One Credit Card. I do Not wish to Link Any Account. xxoo
About a month ago. I paid my quarterly estimated tax to the IRS. Normally I do that online but their website wasn't working for me.
Today, for payroll. About the only time my hand writing looks neat.
I've never written a check in my life. I use etransfer. My partner wrote checks for everything lol.
I still write checks for rent but it's been years but it's been a while that I've written a check for anything else, I guess a few months ago to my hair dresser but that's a about it.
It had to be since 2016 then I switched, to online bill pay for all utilities.
Never
They stopped being relivent in the UK around the mid 2000'sbwith the exception of corporate so I've cashed plenty
For a babysitter about a month ago. Normally I try to pay cash but we didn't have the right amount on hand, so I wrote her a check. I think before that the last time I wrote a check was for some automotive repair work a few years ago.
A year or so ago. Can't remember what it was for, but the person insisted either cash or cheque.
Never written one. They aren't really all that common where I live
Can't really remember. Buy don't use checks. Use e-money transfers.
yes once to my then ex wife to keep her mouth shut and not expose me " went back to her while i was married to my new wife"
Since like 2012 or 2011?
They made us learn how to write them in high school, but I’ve only done it like once in my life since then lol.
On The 20th Of July 2023 was the last time I wrote a check.
It's probably been a good 10 years at least, since I wrote one.
Last weekend. We had some bills to pay. Rent is due soon too.
It has to be 10 years the last time I wrote a cheque, though I still have the cheque book in my safe just in case.
Today. I write several checks each week.
Sometime in the mid-late 90s.

Honestly I don't remember the last time I wrote a check for anything.
I don't know... probably the rent payment. But it's been awhile.
