I haven't written anything in a check register or "balanced my checkbook" in probably 5 years. I look at online banking daily, I always know about how much should be in the account, and I know immediately if something isn't right. I only write a handful of checks per year, and I'm the only one with access to my bank account (single and my son has his own account and debit card) so it's pretty simple.
Gosh, i haven't had checks in years! I am not sure if i even recall how to write one.
I don't think i have ever had much that would be considered 'wild' in my purse the odd tractor part or some pieces for farm livestock stuff..(hooks, latches etc)
My biggest problem is i gather receipts, like oodles and don't clean the thing out for weeks.. it's like they breed in there or something.

Crickets? To feed a critter? (I used to have an oriental fire-bellied toad, and when i couldn't find worms in the backyard, I'd have to buy a tub of the fellas, or tiny crickets.)
I can't not balance my checkbook. I do most of my banking online but I still write everything in my checkbook so I can keep track of the balance. I get nervous when I use my debit card that I'll forget to record it.
The only checks I write are for property tax and people who are fixing things in my house, like a plumber or handyman.
I am more looking for a really slim checkbook wallet than other options. I have no idea why I feel like I have to have the complete checkbook and register with me. I know I can record checks later or look it up online, but I like to do it the old fashioned way.
With kids in sports, I feel like I need checks all the time. Dance fees, team sweatshirts, coach gifts etc. It never ends. Someone is always asking for money.

I have a lasiodora parahybana, pink bird eating spider, and a bearded dragon named Ben! I usually order them offline, but I couldn't get their normal food so.
It was a H. carolinensis, or a Carolina wolf spider that had died and I guess the wind pushed it from it's burrow, so it was in very nice condition. Nobody had stepped on it, no ants or birds either! She was quite a large specimen, so I went into a near by restaurant and asked for a solo cup container to put her in and bring her home with me. I still have her in, now in a glass vial on my mantle. I love insects, I would like to study entomology, but more specifically, arachnology.
I let the bank balance my checkbook, or account, for me. I've found they are a lot more accurate than I am, LOL. I've done it this way since I got the online banking years ago.
To make sure no checks bounce, I leave extra money in there, so no problems.
I do carry my checkbook in my wallet, if there's no room I just carry the check book without the register and write the check info on the back of the book.
That said, it does drive me crazy not to know where a check went to or how much it was, so I do have to write it down someplace.
A lot of banks will have scans of the check available when you log into your account. I can see the front and back of every check I write. It's not a high end feature because I have a free basic checking account.
Yes, but that is only after it is cashed. If you give it to an individual rather than a business, they might not take it to the bank right away. If I don't write it down at the time, I might forget to leave enough money in the account.
