I just don’t understand how come people still write checks at busy places like Wal-Mart & supermarkets this day and age. Seriously, it is bad enough you have to wait in line to begin with but these jerks then take time to write a check and some even inconsiderate enough to record the transaction in the checkbook while still in line. These are not old people either!!! What good reason can they have for doing this?

Growing up, my parents never bought anything they couldn't afford. Now, we're getting mixed signals from parents and peers. Buy the house now, the car, go take that cruise, etc. there are more people today that have either consolidated their debts or gone bankrupt. What do you think is the real cause?

Please answer in simple, plain banking terms I can understand(i.e., "ATM/Check and Debit Cards for Dummies"-style)!...

Im doing this because I have an invention idea but want to prove i had it first before talking to an invention company.

I've heard of something like "poor mans proof" or something like that.

Will this really hold up in court also?

I keep hearing businesses report earnings (or losses) with a disclaimer enumerating charges due to an accounting change. They claim that, technically, their net profit is better than it appears on the surface because of these one time (ostensibly artificial) "charges". I'm not an accountant, but this seems to defy logic; how can this always be a negative figure for companies that seem to do this every couple years?

Are companies not obligated to report an artificial gain from an accounting system change to the SEC, and if so, why does this never seem to be reported?

I'm not referring to writeoffs; I realize that companies play games with these all the time, holding or dumping them depending on their tax, dividend, and stock value situation
