Times ARE changing.<br /><br />When we first got ATM cards (maybe 25 years ago?)I remember I would go to the ATM machine and get $20 at a time. Oh, my -- times really HAVE changed! :)Sandrahttp://addhumorandfaith.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-43805113998256832312010-07-27T18:54:48.787-05:002010-07-27T18:54:48.787-05:00I had to write a cheque out yesterday for Brianna&...I had to write a cheque out yesterday for Brianna's school photo ($32 mind you!) and I noticed that I had had my cheque book since 28th June, 2007 and I have only written 8 cheque out in that time - and 3 have been for the school photographer!! Like you, nearly all our banking and bill payment is done on-line (and I now pay some of our bills in advance so that when the accounts come, I am either in credit or nearly paid up). Times they certainly are a changing...<br /><br />Cheeers - JoolzJoolzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490462580345458546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-6404984699241296482010-07-27T13:38:17.485-05:002010-07-27T13:38:17.485-05:00Times are a changing.

You finally get your new digital tv that you've been saving up to buy, cameras, videos, or whatever, and then they change the technology! Now, we've got hundreds of DVDs and VHS tapes! What to do with them now that cable has gone and added Pay Per View with all the movies that you could ever want???? It's a racket, I say! All the different facets of technology are competing against one another to get our hard earned $$$. Wish things could just stay the same for a few years and let us get the "latest thing" paid for before they change it again! My gripe for the day. <br /><br />Actually, we do not fall prey to this way of thinking. We keep our appliances until they fall apart. We don't watch much TV or movies and I'm NOT going to add more cost to my cable bills. I'm about ready to jerk the stupid thing out of the wall anyway with all the filth the networks allow to be spewed out into the airwaves...<br /><br />OK, I'm through now....Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07741431727993692456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-10947914005093232082010-07-26T10:52:21.389-05:002010-07-26T10:52:21.389-05:00My son is an accountant for a large department cha...My son is an accountant for a large department chain. He says that more and more people are now paying with cash. The numbers are astronomical actually. Next time you're in a long line, watch and see how many are pulling out bills instead of cards.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00618654361869856894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-63802201285199989742010-07-26T09:37:16.858-05:002010-07-26T09:37:16.858-05:00I won't say I will never bank that way, becaus...I won't say I will never bank that way, because I have learned never say never. With computers taking so much time and information from us tell me will you be willing to change when something new is introduced to you.

We put all the loose change in a jar and periodically take it to the bank to deposit it into our debit account. <br />I love the convenience of the debit. Some folks refuse to use those or credit cards, thinking it makes them more vulnerable to theft. I don't think the thieves are hindered by our fears of paperless spending:)Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1834389037350420100.post-70273699044964644252010-07-26T08:19:46.191-05:002010-07-26T08:19:46.191-05:00This is surely a sign of the times.

He is forgetting to pay the bills from our account and how easy it would be to just do online paying, but he will have no part of it. Just hope we stay safe. Great previous post too. So sad.<br />QMMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
