Password Manager
There will be lots of a useless accounts you have to make in life. Scale yourself. Many such accounts will not be optional. At least this one provides you with some value.
Hard why not both? You should use a password manager & create less accounts on platforms or sharing your phone/email if you can help it.
Sure, in general yes. But in reference to the comment, writing a check they would already have my name address and some reference to my bank account details even without the online account, which implies a high degree of trust.
If I need an account to read an article on a website? Then I’m not interested in reading your article.
V true. I was think more along the lines of any sort of cash, debit, check transfer that doesn’t involve accounts or folks skimming money off the top rather than checks specifically when interpretting the meme.
I'm old school, if I want to buy something, I go to the store with the ability to essentially examine the item, pay for it in cash and go home. Crating an account and paying with the card, with which also the bank knows what I had bought? WTF, capitalism surveillance shit.
a check? ok bye, ive never understood what the fuck that shit should do… like what about cash or just a simple transfer? why do people use checks?
I keep all my bills organized in bookmarks. Keep track of their due dates on a Google Sheets budget. I'm not going back to checks..lol
Do you guys not have direct debit? All my bills are paid automatically. Manually paying my bills sounds like a pain and I would definitely forget/double pay if I needed to do it that way
US banks won't even issue chip and pin cards because their customers would find entering a 4 number code too arduous and complicated.
We do. I never give companies power to pull money from my account. I realize it's a convenience for some people in the way they budget, so no judging.... I've just been screwed by it one too many times. I keep full control over my finances. I budget everything out on an Excel template I created. It actually doesn't take much time at all ..an hour or so once a week to get everything balanced and paid for the month.
where i live its hard to find places who even accept them. im not sure how i can get my bank to give me a check book if i really wanted to use them.
don't have to drag ur ass to a store
