Maybe a checking account with more than a $2,000 daily debit limit so I can pay a fortune to live in a 60’s-era shithole (but it’s “aesthetic”). Or a landlord that accepts modern payment methods.

Gonna have to buy a checkbook probably. What century is this?

Most banks allow you to pay bills online and they'll send a check on your behalf to your landlord. You can set it up to go automatically every month too.

I bank mainly online but I did have a shared account with my wife at a traditional bank with that service. Unfortunately they started taking 2-3 weeks to mail it to my landlord two miles away, so I gave up on that.

If you're in a hurry and can't wait for a checkbook you might be able to get a money order. Banks and even some grocery stores will do this for a fee (it was like 0.50 last time I did this... Like 16 years ago omg what happened)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago

I’ve resorted to that, but I had to buy money orders on different days due to the debit daily transaction limit.

See if your bank does "bill pay" where you can add bills and they mail a check for you. It's usually free.

What century is your bank from lol

I don't use the service, but I know a lot of banks do it. It's really nice for the bullshit places that add "convenience fees" to pay electronically. Which I always found funny. Since the electronic payment is way more convenient for them than getting paid by check.

Aye I remember fees for paying electronically. In about 1998 😂
