Wanna help me with work?

[Alex]

I need some non-scientific polling type information for something I'm working on at work. So if you'd be willing to answer these questions I'd find it helpful.

1. How many actual paper checks per month would you say you write on average? (Do NOT include online bill pay services).

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

3. Do you regularly use checks in a way that wouldn't seem to fall under either category in question 2? If so, please share if you're willing.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

Thanks for anybody willing to answer.

1. How many actual paper checks per month would you say you write on average? (Do NOT include online bill pay services).

1-2 checks per month

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

I haven't used a check in a store in years. So, then, 100% bill-paying.

3. Do you regularly use checks in a way that wouldn't seem to fall under either category in question 2? If so, please share if you're willing.

Only if I'm paying a person directly (i.e., paying back for something they bought for me, paying a photographer for their services, etc.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

I suppose, in theory, I could use two accounts (my old solo account, and our joint account.) I don't, though, I just use the one.

On average? About 4 to 5. I recently switched to having my auto insurance deducted automatically from my account, so that's one less!

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

I never use checks except for bill paying, although I used one at Costco the other day. I heard however, that they now take credit cards. I stick to good ol' cash or credit cards.

3. Do you regularly use checks in a way that wouldn't seem to fall under either category in question 2? If so, please share if you're willing.

N/A

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

Just one

Only household. Rarely ever POS unless they don't take plastic.

Does zero count? One a month is probably pushing it, since it's closer to 6-7 times a year. That may change, however.

I can't say for my household, and I'm in a student demographic right now.

2. What is the split between household bill paying and still using them in stores at point of sale?

My case, perhaps, is unusual. Most of my bill paying, and the bill paying that goes on in my house, is primarily electronic, with the exception of our gas bill, which doesn't have electronic or online bill-pay.

The only thing I use checks for are paying my tuition twice a year, and if I have to buy books at the campus bookstore. Never at a regular store. Just use my ATM card.

Nope.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

Just one.

Fees at public schools for two daughters. This runs to probably 10 checks per child per year.

I don't think so. Paying for Maddie's school lunches is a bill, right?
