Digitally Speaking

Last week when I went to the mall, I forgot my debit card at home. YIKES! I felt totally lost without my debit card. Isn’t that strange? I can remember my first checking account; it didn’t even come with a cash card. Back then, it was called a MAC card and then an OWL card. (Hard to believe I remember that!)

Now I do everything electronically. I pay bills online. If a business or utility isn’t set up for their own online payments, I do it through the online billpay at my bank. Whether I’m using paypal or relying on electronic check processing, I almost never use paper checks anymore.

Come to think of it, is money even necessary these days? Perhaps not. It will be interesting to see what the next decade brings, won’t it?

  • I do the same - however, be careful. I had my CC# compromised over XMas and the drained my bank account (it was a MC debit card). I was able to get all mymoney back but myu accounts were ugly for a couple weeks. i just got a PayPal MC where funds come right out of my PP account. I use this exclusively for online transactions now.
