I looked on the IRS site wondering where my money was. We get our refund
for years direct deposit, our social security checks for 15 years have been
direct deposit to the same account. The site said I was eligible, but
needed banking info. Sad, they are this incompetent. So you may want to
check your eligibility and see if they have the bank info.

Mine came through fine.

IRS says they sent mine but I should check with the bank to see if
they have it. I am just going to wait for my next bank statement. I am
not even sure the bank is open. I doubt I will see it just by looking
at my balance.

Us modernized folks can check our accounts online.

I guess if you believe, go for it.
I limit online exposure to my money.

Me too. It's between me and my bank.

You your bank and anyone else on the internet who can crack your
security or the bank's.

If I believe in what?

That you or they can't be hacked.

The convenience is well worth the odds.

What convenience? I have enough money in the bank that I don't need to
be looking at it every day.

I pay bills, get my checking, savings, and credit card statements all online
from the bank. Payments are made by transferring money online from one account
to another or to the payee - water, electric, gas, credit card, etc.

That's called convenience. Has nothing to do with how 'much' money you have.

Freedom Isn't Free!

We write so few checks that the wife realized we were pretty much out of
blank checks. Been years since we ordered. She writes a few, mostly kids
and grandkids holidays checks. I write maybe one or two a year.
