- Mail is slow … That is why it is called “Snail Mail”. Duh. You could be having a really fun weekend, but you wanted your paycheck mailed and didn’t arrive until after 5 p.m. on Friday so you can’t cash it until Monday. I guess you could clean your garage.
- Waste of Time — & Gas – Driving to the bank to wait in line to cash your check. Huge waste of time! You waste that quality nap time every payday!
- Unless you have a crush on your mail carrier.…why are you waiting around for him/her?
- Lost your check? Dog ate it? No whining! You could have had it deposited electronically. It’s safer- Direct deposits cannot blow out your car window on the way to the bank, be stolen or lost.
- Paper checks are now considered dangerous — Paper cuts are common and can result in serious infections!
- Being “GREEN” is cool. Paper checks are totally uncool. Your peers may begin to avoid you if they find out how “uncool” you are.
- Vacations! – You still have access to your money on payday even if you are sipping fruity drinks with umbrellas at the beach.
- Your bank may love you — Some banking fees can be avoided by using DIRECT DEPOSIT. Check with your financial institution to see if you can save money by using direct deposit.
- It’s free- Everybody loves free!
