Everybody should have to do it.
RTFC • 01/13/25 12:18 PM ET
Agree except for the quarterly part. Once a year. Plan accordingly.**

We’d go bankrupt. Most people don’t even balance
GreenvilleVT • 01/13/25 01:20 PM ET
Who has a check book these days?
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/13/25 02:41 PM ET
I’m 100% with you. I write 1 or 2 checks a year and I have to think really
vatechcowpatty • 01/13/25 06:05 PM ET
I do.**
ColoVT82 • 01/13/25 05:39 PM ET
I write about two dozen checks a year...
BleedinOandM • 01/13/25 05:00 PM ET
Canceled check is great proof of payment!**
HokieHi71 • 01/13/25 03:38 PM ET
Some donkey vendors of mine only take checks …
OXVT • 01/13/25 03:34 PM ET
Many, many people recommend
RTFC • 01/13/25 03:16 PM ET
That's how I do it. I like your and (my) method.**

I still write checks. The capitalized Q is the letter I have the most

Hence why I'm also for public floggings and castration for tax fraud...
RTFC • 01/13/25 01:44 PM ET
just more cheating **
bigbadbird • 01/13/25 02:07 PM ET
Maybe that would force the gubmint to reduce its spending.
MP4VT2004 • 01/13/25 01:35 PM ET
Look at it as an investment....you're now a non-managing/non-profiting...
JoesterVT • 01/13/25 12:12 PM ET
Damn. Just when I'd paid off that last Florida Hurricane**
Beerman • 01/13/25 02:20 PM ET
It is definitely weird to me how some people react so drastically different
AbsolutVT03 • 01/13/25 05:28 PM ET
Well duh!
Beerman • 01/14/25 10:39 AM ET
It's more like we're all throwing money down the bottomless sinkholes...
Gobbler-100 • 01/13/25 01:22 PM ET
Perhaps not for the next few years though.**
Late 80s Hokie • 01/13/25 04:04 PM ET

RTFC • 01/13/25 03:33 PM ET
Don't forget Ukraine...we've dumped something like $100B into that war.
EDGEMAN • 01/13/25 02:16 PM ET
And Israel. Don't forget the money we've "dumped" there as well.**
AbsolutVT03 • 01/13/25 05:28 PM ET
Word on the street is that Joe has moved aid for Israel to the Palestinians
EDGEMAN • 01/13/25 05:53 PM ET
"Word on the street" is always a great source. Also you realize that there
AbsolutVT03 • 01/13/25 06:49 PM ET
As long as there are people who believe that Israel has no right to exsist
HokieNLot11 • 01/13/25 10:30 PM ET
But I wasn’t talking about peace solutions. I was talking about the need
AbsolutVT03 • 01/14/25 01:32 PM ET
Is federal money even real anymore?**
