I saw this article from Consumer Reports today talking about the dwindling use of personal checks and how financial systems are trying to phase them out.  Don’t worry, we’ve still got at least 15 years of check-writing ahead of us, but I thought this could be a useful article for Personal Finance people out there.  I remember in my economics class in high school having to fill out fake checks and keep a register; maybe now we should create some fake debit cards and do the same thing?  Actually, that’s not a bad idea.  Maybe I’ll look into that!
