    monospaced,

    my mom writes checks and uses the ledger. she and my stepdad sit down monthly to balance the checkbook. keeps all receipts, writes down in the ledger for anything that is a debit purchase. I realize this all makes sense to them, but...

    It makes absolutely no sense to me. How in the world do people trust and manage a checkbook ledger to keep their bank account in order when every major bank now has online banking, and apps for your phone with perfectly up-to-date, almost real-time information?
