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

50? Or as young as 40 if you grew up in one of the tobacco states.

Yup. I forgot to add that when debit cards became a thing you basically used them as a 24x7 bank teller, usually only at the bank. Sometimes your bank would have an atm at its own stand at the grocery store.

Oh and the delays at the grocery store because of slow check writing or getting a check OK’d.
