I check my charge cards and banking accounts on-line daily. It has become such a routine that it takes me less than 5 or 10 minutes. I do this right after I check the obits up north to make sure I'm okay.

This is funny, but I do the very same things, and I agree on the time it takes. It is WELL worth it !

I check the obits too. OK for now. PHEW !

My wife and I are both amateur radio operators (hams). We get a monthly magazine named QST, which has a "Silent Key" column, listing names and callsigns of recently deceased "hams." I joke with my wife that I haven't seen either of our callsigns under the Silent Keys, so I guess we're OK for another month.
