You don't need a computer to send or receive funds electronically, you just need a bank account. With DOGE endangering all of our personal information, I recommend setting up a small balance account at a different bank to receive or pay fund electronically. Then you transfer money to or from that account as needed. That way your real bank info is not out there.

I am already dealing with late fees because paper checks never seem to get there on time. I hope that I never have to deal with Direct Withdrawals, but am perfectly willing to pay online if possible. I do, however, feel very sorry for the folks who do not have the knowledge or technical ability that I have. I have many clients who don't even own a computer, let alone know how to operate one. I try to assist them as much as is humanly possible. How far are they going to try and push us and how far are we willing to be pushed? Hopefully, humans will always remain superior to A.I.

Great Idea Mr. Normal

Did someone say AI?

mcb: [I have never been in favor of paper checks]. Understand. But there are options to commerce, and the powers that be want to force you (kicking and screaming) into the electronic age, and removing conventional options. How do you like the new pressure for things like "Let your bill pay itself" wanting you to allow XYZ to suck the $$ out of your bank account before you ever see it? Or telephone menus instead of a live person?? A.I. is just around the corner, and just wait until it is running the entire economy when you will have only one fiddler to pay.
