I'm some of both. I pay most of my bills online (except for mortgage, maintenance and a couple other stray expenses). I still prefer to receive my statements in the mail for most of my bills because I find it helps me remember when to send my payments in. I still buy stamps for the few things I pay for with checks. I do pay for most of my purchases with a debit card (I try not to use credit cards anymore unless absolutely necessary). I never carry more than $100 cash with me. My salary is direct deposit. I hate going to tellers and love the impersonal ATM which works quickly and never has a snarky attitude.
