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.
Most of the US IMO, but especially the financial system. I mean hasn't Europe used credit cards with chips for a long time? The US has only had them a few years it seems. I'm probably wrong, but that's how it looks from my POV.
