I used to prefer to have a check in my hand every pay period, thinking I'd lose track of my finances with direct deposit. It wasn't until I took a job that required direct deposit that I found out how much it simplifies my life. No bank lines, no ATM's, no time lost.

I love my direct deposit - I only wish I could have my check split up between my different accounts - I'm a total nut - I have about 5 different accounts

I kindof wish more people thought to do that. I think people are more worried about having that money now than saving it for the future. It kindof makes me glad to hear that someone is doing it! :P

Well - I don't like the idea of counting on the government for my golden years

No contest. Direct deposit is so much easier. Additionally, I get paid a day earlier than I would for a traditional check.

Direct deposit. But don't move house and fail to notify your employer's payroll dept.... I did that once and bounced a large check. I felt so dumb. The merchant was really nice about it and I covered it instantly. But wow. dumbdumbdumb

Direct deposit is a far better way of making and receiving payment.

I use direct deposit. I hate going to the bank. I can always print out my deposit slips manually and keep them that way if I feel the urge.

I love Direct Deposit. I always hated getting my paycheck on a friday, and not getting off work until after the banks had closed, and no being able to access the money I had in my hand for another few days. I much prefer knowing that I will have the money in my account every other monday morning, and if Monday is a holiday, I will have it the friday before. It's very nice.

I want to see my check and cash it, my pay varies so I don't want to think I have more money than I actually do, if it was direct deposited.

I would rather be paid by direct deposit because I usually never have time to go to the bank before I need money, so I end up being broke :( lol
