Ill start, I never used a check. The only way I can get a house is waiting for my parents to die.

    I’ve received checks three or four times in my life. I’ve never written one. As a kid I had a physical paper booklet for the savings account I put my birthday money into. The only way I can get to own a house is by winning the lottery. I remember when small shops had manual credit card machines that would transfer your account details to a slip of paper. I also remember when local stores would give credit to people from the community. I get low-key annoyed when I have to use cash instead of digital payments. My retirement plan is not to retire.

      This is highly location dependent. If you’re Dutch, you’re probably in your mid-to-late 30s. If you’re french, you could be 20, because people still use them pretty frequently…
