Cheques being phased out in Australia by 2030
tom66:
I don't see the phaseout of cheques as being related to bosses wanting bigger salaries. Their salaries are set by market forces.
Really it's a case of a small number of people using an obsolete method to pay which costs a disproportionate amount to handle. Bank transfers are free (in most countries) and safe.

Clearly I was born in a soviet occupied country, where cheque usage was 0.00% and if you tried using it after 1989 everyone just assumed that you want to scam them.

You are avoiding the point. We noticed.

Wait, your point is that old people cannot learn how to use anything else? That went totally over my head. Why?
Because I'm coming from a country, where nobody is using cheque, and we somehow manage.

Used trees will get re-planted. It they aren't being used for paper, they will end up as lumber/wood anyways.

In a gov tax audit all proof is via paper evidence.
A canceled paper check is your best defense.

Don't be a twat!
As you will find - if you are lucky - the older you get the more difficult it is to take on radically new concepts.
My father, who had a DSc (i.e. >>PhD) in two phase flow and fluid dynamics, never really got to grips with the internet and web.
