How many checks do you write in a month?

About 14 per month.

I am surprised at low usage because how do you pay things like property tax or vehicle registrations to state and town etc. They don’t take credit cards. Schools seem to spawn s bunch and paying things like federal and state income tax are check only unless you pay fees.
 
Never written a cheque in all of my 43 years. I doubt most Aussies or Kiwis have. EVERYTHING can be paid electronically here. I'm surprised it still happens in the US of all places.
 
I had a cheque book maybe 20 years ago...then the bank started charging $10/book of 20, and issuing new books quarterly regardless of keeping track...I stopped that and went back to cash.

Buying my current house a year ago needed 8 bank cheques, at $10 each.

If I scrap some metal, by law the scrappie has to pay me by cheque (or other tracable transfer), plus dividends often have a cheque attached.

So handwritten...nothing in over 20 years.
Bank Cheques...maybe 12 in the same period, 8 in the last year, and a few for car purchases.
Cheques received, maybe 3-5 per year.
