Ooh! Do you ever write embarrassing & obnoxious things in the memo section for your friends? In the past I've written "hush money" and the ever-popular "for sexual favors".

Boy, I'm an immature a-hole. Sorry for the derail! Carry on...

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

As few as possible. For the sake of argument, let's say 1.

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

I *never* buy anything by check

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.

Check-by-phone to bill collectors, which I don't believe counts in this survey.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

Thanks for anybody willing to answer.

One.

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

Less than one - I've only written five checks since the first of the year (However, Susan pays the bills: I am sure her numbers are higher).

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

3 Household bills and 2 POS

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.

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but 2 of the 3 bill checks were done over the phone (I didn't physically give the check to someone - they just took the information over the phone). I don't use checks to pay hookers any more.

4. How many accounts do you write checks against?

One, but we do have savings overdraft to back it up.

Since my husband does bill paying, I figure his answers are what you'd want. For me it's never ever, don't even carry a checkbook in my bag, barely remember how to fill one out. Ironically, our library doesn't take credit/debit, so we often get the crumpled, forgotten check in the bottom of people's purses.
