I love direct deposit paychecks!  I never thought I would, but I really do!  I’ve always wanted to be able to take my paycheck down to the bank and cash it,  Made me feel like I really accomplished something, having that cash in my hand!  But lately it has become more difficult to get in and out of the bank on payday quickly, and my company announced a few months ago that direct deposit was no longer going to be an option; it was going to be mandatory.  I wasn’t happy about it then, but I have to admit that it is a real time saver – now I don’t have to go to the bank at all!
