"Paper checks are dead. Cash is dying." I read that in an article online and thought it was quite accurate. I write a rent check each month and another check for the monthly meal plan. That's it. I was talking to someone recently about how we have quit using "heavy" coins. A nickel isn't worth carrying around, and neither is a penny. Hmm, or a dime, for that matter. I only use coins when I buy a snack from a vending machine, and that's rare these days. Before I moved into my new apartment, I needed quarters for machines to wash and dry sheets and clothes. Now I don't leave home to do my laundry.

I agree. I still use cash (paper and quarters only) at the weekly farmer's market and I write a checks occasionally for a plumber, electrician, etc. Programs like Venmo and Zelle make digital money so much easier and there are no fees like there are with credit cards.
