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

In elementary school, for a single grade we had these checkbooks where we'd get class points and have to put them in it. On certain days we could cash them in for prizes. Have never used any form of checkbook outside of that single year.

Only time I have ever gotten a check was because I didn't have college financial aid set up to go directly to my bank or there was a refund or the time I got a maybe $20 check because the people running the place I live got sued.

My mom (80) has 20 mil or so. (Dad dead)

But she cares only about partying and home renno and refuses to even buy her kids a cup of coffee.

So we wait like vultures.

I have had to use a check to pay rent and will never vote in a presidential election because elections are rigged and there's no fucking point. The American dream is dead.
