my mom always gets after me about how i haven't entered anything in my checkbook in like a whole year, because honestly i don't see any point in it
i could just go online, go to my bank, and look at a list of transactions to get exactly the same information
does anyone actually bother balancing checkbooks anymore akudood;
imagine when our infrastructure collapses and you can't use your online banking any longer. akudood;

i feel liek we would have more shit to worry about than balancing checkbooks at that point
I'm not even sure what that means. Write out your transactions in a little book?
Anyway, yeah, my credit union (lol we're such socialists in qc ^_^) has a website for that.

I don't even have a checkbook baddood;
I do, just because I'm weird and it's a habit.
Nope. I don't. I can't wait until checks are long gone.

Or at the very least, checks.
I haven't balanced mine in three years because of online banking. bassir;

careful what you wish for. it just might come true. physical goods is the only 'true' kind of 'currency'.
It's pointless nowadays. Just like you said, everything is online. I even have my bank as an iPod touch app.
Because banks make mistakes and so do computers
but regardless, I don't balance my checkbook either girl;

I deposited $1360 in checks last night and they still aren't showing in my account doodthing;
This is a reason to balance checkbooks since something transactions such as paychecks take a while to post. It gets more complicated when it happens between statements.

Exactly, I've gone days without spending money, but my statement will still change as things update
