I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve never used a check in my entire life.

What is this old timey bullshit? Why not a burlap sack of fucking pieces of eight?

I’m almost 50 years old and I’ve never used a check in my entire life.

How is this possible? How did you pay your bills before online billpay systems - did you pay them all by phone?

This is the answer. Here in this US checks are still widely used, and sometimes, thanks to processing fees, the only payment except cash someone will accept. Mobile payments, though available, haven’t really taken off here like in Europe.
