I am in college yet I still don't know how to...

<p>I know how to save money, I’ve saved up almost $10,000 of my own money at this point in my life and I have no debt of any kind. I don’t think a lot of kids nowadays can say that. Landlords I’ve met prefer money orders anyway. I’m sure banks do make mistakes, but I’m not going to keep records of every time I buy a soda from the vending machine or what have you just to make sure that I haven’t been shorted a penny. I keep track of a rough estimate of how much I’ve spent and just check my bank statements to make sure there’s nothing amiss and I haven’t had any trouble yet. I make sure that I can remember every single thing on there, and so far I always have been able to do so.</p>

<p>Is there really anything that you can pay for with a check that can’t possibly be paid for with any other method? I mean a lot of places don’t even give out physical paychecks anymore. It’s all electronic nowadays. At my place of employment receiving a physical paycheck is not even an option.</p>
