I write about 5 checks a year, for estimated taxes and because my mother refuses to even understand what PayPal is (my brother will not write my mom a check [for things like when we all chip in to buy a fancy anniversary gift for a family member or something], so he PayPals his portion to me, and then I write a check to Mom for the both of us). At this rate, I will die before it's time to get new checks with my married name on them. (Our 5th wedding anniversary is this year, and I'm still using checks that say "Lang.")

You can just buy new checks with your new name on them even though you haven't used up the old ones. It's allowed.
Noooooo.
I don't know why, but it feels like cheating to not use them up.
I totally understand that. I went wild and ordered new checks that I didn't "need" when we bought this house and it took some doing to be okay with it.
I had half a box of checks with my old address on them, but I got new ones and shredded the others.
I don't think i've written a check in many years. Except the extremely scary giant checks for a down payment for a house.
Writing the check for my car was horrifying. It took me a while to remember how to fill it out for that large a number.

Seriously. I have never written a check as large as the check for the Corolla. That was unnerving. But it's nice to not have a car payment.

Oh, yes. I sometimes sit in the car and gloat.
