Online Banking

So, I have never been a huge fan of paying bills, thinking about money (until I have none), or being accountable for balancing my check book. I think it is safe to say that I haven't actually balanced a checkbook in at 7 years. Honestly, I think it might be sad to say that if I had to balance a checkbook, I'd have to ask for help. I am sure I could at least figure it out, but why bother doing it anymore?

I love that I get daily emails from WAMU who is now Chase (not overly thrilled about that), but they tell me how much is in ALL of my accounts, what was deducted or added and how much interest has accrued. How could I not love that? Could I live without?...most definitely but why would I choose to not accept and embrace technology? Technology alone is down right amazing, and continues to make my life easier. The thing I love about Wamu, is I don't have to think about logging into their site to see whats going on, they actually send me my information 6 days a week! I open my email and see a beautifulf file, I type in my password to view the information and then I see exactly what is going on in my account. Totally awesome!

The other day, I asked people what life was like before google, today I think I will ask what life is like before online banking? Honestly, who really balances a checkbook...okay so I do actually know two people (my grandparents) that do it but they are also 88 and 90 years old. I don't think they really count. My other grandmother probably does as well, but she is alittle more technologically savy, so it wouldn't surprise me that she would have online banking.
