I had a similar experience last year.&nbsp; I got my tax refund, and then immediatley spent it all on bills.&nbsp; Man I felt old that day.

I hope you pulled that check book out while you were in line at the supermarket, because that is the most convient time for everyone.

<p>You shouldn't have done that man. Now you can't return.

I never used a check yet! I will be for the first time when I'm at court on Monday though. I don't even have a checkbook, it's still the generic group of checks they give you when you open a checking account for the first time.

I like the online feature because I can check my account regularly to make sure that my checkbook balances. Otherwise I have to wait for my monthly statement and if something's wrong it may be too late to fix
