I don't care about how times have changed. I don't trust the internet for financial issues. I don't do a damned thing online as far as banking or buying anything.

Then you're losing money.

Yes you do. You have an ATM card. You have investments. These are transactions routinely conducted online.

Stuck in the 80s and prior...with regard to everything.

Not stuck in the 80s. When you have tons of reports today, of hackers and foriegn governments hacking accounts, that isn't a decade issue, that is simply avoiding situations where your information can get stolen.

You’re already IN that situation.

But you be you. Spend more on cab fare.

Um no, the money I spent on gas and insurance and upkeep is far less than cab fare now that I am not working. If I was still working, I would be spending far more money.

Not what I meant. If you have to go farther to get to your bank, you’ll be spending more on cab fare than you are now.

The alternative is to do online banking so you don’t have to go to the bank. But I know - that’s just crazy talk.

RE: Don't Bank On It.
For someone who's all over the web, the paranoia about paying bills and banking online is just ridiculous.

Yes, I am all over the web, but I don't do anything financial on the web. I pay my bills over the phone or in person. I have never submitted my bank info, or SSN on the web. I never will.

Like a hacker needs you to hand them those things.
