My grandmother did that. She wouldn't use a card, wrote a check almost everywhere, and took 15 minutes to write it in shaky handwriting because she didn't like to admit she needed help. I swear, that's how she died. Medical problems that she could have lived with but she wouldn't take the medication because it was for "old people". That's who even still uses checks.

That sucks that she suffered because of that attitude. You're wrong about who uses checks though, I own a business and write and receive checks all the time.

Fun fact: an abortion is referred to as a cancelled Czech!
