<p>I don’t understand the concept of balancing a checkbook mostly because I don’t understand what checks could possibly be useful for in this day and age. Debit cards can be used for groceries and the exact balances can be monitored at any time online, and for big things like rent you can just get a money order.</p>
<p>I just don’t see why reading the monthly statements to make sure nothing is out of place and checking your balance every week to move money from savings to checking as needed isn’t enough.</p>
