Baby               boomers               are               notoriously               bad               about               balancing               their               checkbooks...part               of               the,               "I               have               checks,               so               I               must               have               money!"               generation.

So               I               guess               it               is               a               very               good               thing               that               kids               today               are               well-versed               and               comfortable               using               plastic               debit               cards.

Why...because               these               times,               they               are               a               changin'...that               is               the               rules               revolving               around               checks               and               checking               accounts               are               changing.

Last               week,               unnoticed,               a               new               and               dramatic               rule               went               into               affect.

The               "float"               period               that               most               of               us               grew               up               with               is               now               a               thing               of               the               past.
               To               understand               that               term               better,               I               am               talking               about               the               deceptive               dollar               value               of               your               checking               account               cash               balance               that               is               created               by               the               length               of               time               it               takes               the               recipient               of               said               check               to               cash               it               and               have               it               register               on               your               checking               account.
               For               most               of               us,               including               myself,               we               grew               up               in               the               "pre-technology               age"               of               the               last               few               decades.

There               were               many               a               day               when               you               could               write               a               check               on               Thursday               evening,               knowing               full               well               that               the               check               wouldn't               leave               the               store               until               Friday,               and               since               the               banks               were               closed               over               the               weekend,               it               wouldn't               reach               your               checking               account               till               at               least               Monday.
               Well               granted,               this               is               not               a               "best               practices"               scenario,               because               as               responsible               adult               consumers               we               are               not               supposed               to               write               check               on               money               that               we               don't               have               in               our               accounts               at               that               time.

And               I               do               understand               living               paycheck               to               paycheck               and               there               never               being               enough               money               to               buy               the               kids               milk,               or               pay               the               electric               bill               before               they               shut               it               off.

But               people               caught               in               this               Russian               roulette               syndrome               of               trying               to               match               in-flows               and               out-flows               could               get               burned               by               the               new               system               that               is               clearing               checks               faster               than               they               anticipated.
               The               year               of               2004               brought               us               the               infamous               Check               Clearing               Act               for               the               21st               Century,               fondly               called,               or               cursed,               depending               on               your               point               of               view,               Check               21.

This               act               made               it               easier,               for               the               banks,               mind               you...to               process               checks               electronically               without               needing               to               transfer               the               paper               checks               from               one               location               to               another.

While               it               also               made               it               harder               for               consumers               to               receive               a               copy,               called               a               "substitute               check"               that               is               legally               equivalent               to               a               cancelled               check,               for               any               dispute               with               a               merchant               or               creditor.
               I               do               admit               begrudgedly               that               moving               35               billion               paper               checks               each               year               really               had               to               end,               even               if               it               is               only               to               save               the               trees               involved.

But               this               created               an               unfair               advantage               to               banks               to               charge               extra               fees               for               substitute               paper               copies.
               Now               to               old               timers               like               me,               that               was               a               rude               awakening               when               I               no               longer               received               my               canceled               checks               in               the               mail,               with               all               the               different               bank               stamps               on               them               testifying               to               their               journey               through               the               system.

There               was               something               comforting               about               having               that               piece               of               paper               in               my               hand.

Then               the               next               insidious               step               towards               a               cashless               society,               or               paperless,               if               you               go               for               the               latest               infusion               of               new               dollar               coins,               was               the               implementation               of               "accounts               receivable               conversion."
               This               step               is               where               they               convert               the               paper               check               that               you               so               lovingly               wrote...and               prayed               that               it               reached               the               back               AFTER               your               money               did...into               an               electronic               payment.

You               check               number               will               not               necessarily               show               up               on               your               statement,               but               may               be               replaced               by               an               electronic               entry               that               shows               the               amount               and               the               debit               to               your               account.
               All               of               this               leads               to               the               change               that               was               implemented               this               past               Friday,               and               basically               ignored               by               the               mass               media,               called               "back               office               conversion".

In               the               past               you               wrote               a               check,               the               store               took               them               to               the               back               office,               thus               the               name,               and               then               there               was               the               daily               trip               to               the               bank               to               get               them               cleared...No               more!
               Now               they               can               convert               your               check               to               an               electronic               payment               that               can               reach               the               bank               during               the               day,               or               at               the               day's               end,               and               most               assuredly               overnight!
               The               proper               English               and               checkbook               challenged               translation               of               that,               "Goodbye               float!

No               more               making               a               purchase               on               the               weekend               and               not               expecting               to               clear               till               Monday.
