Really?

Do people really not have checking accounts these day? I've known people in the past who didn't have checking accounts, but they have since succumbed and opened one. I was talking with a friend today and she says they do not have one and haven't had one in a very long time. They have no plans to open one either. They pay for everything with cash. I just don't think I could do it. I couldn't pay bills online. I would have to go get money orders for all our bills. It is hard enough for me to find time to sit down and make out the bills I don't pay online and then go to the post office to mail them. I couldn't imagine having to find time to go get money orders on top of that. I think I'll stick with my checking account.
