I have almost no use for paper checks anymore. Everything is done online, or via instant withdrawal. Still, a few years back I got annoyed when I ran out of checks and ordered way too many boxes of replacements. I've been slowly working through those boxes, at a speed of two checks a month, for a long long time. The address on the checks is wrong. So much time has passed I feel like I should even have a different name by now.

I've been putting a real dent in those boxes this week, though. Lots of wedding bills coming due. Most wedding vendors apparently live in a quaint time bubble where written checks are the major form of currency (the same time bubble most landlords exist within).
