Ill start, I never used a check. The only way I can get a house is waiting for my parents to die.

Old enough to have used a cheque, pay with credit cards and a carbon copy click-clack machine, pay for tuition and getting paid pocket money in coins.

I'm young enough to be unlikely to ever own my own home, unable to officially retire until age 67 and likely unable to live on a pension by the time I'm eligible.

I forgot the carbon CC devices! I've used those, too.

I worked at a pizza place in high school and we actually still had those carbon copy credit card things for when the machine wasn't working. I'm too young to have seen them otherwise.
