I have not had a checkbook since 2017. I only allow my mortgage and HOA to be automatically withdrawn from my checking. For all other routine bills I push the money electronically. For non-routine bills when possible I use Zelle. Otherwise, I can use my credit union's bill pay feature to have a check mailed to the vendor.
I rarely talk about my own debt with other people as my only debt is my mortgage that is 10 years away from being paid off in15 years instead of 30. My way of paying off my credit card in full each month is to make payments every few days. I hold this standard for myself because I never want to go back to living off other people's money, paying interest for stuff, always more stuff. I have less stuff and more freedom.
