Fuck your "security reasons" I have $200 in my bank and knowing that amount at a glance is a godsend for budgeting

Do people just not know their financials without constantly checking...how can you not remember that you have $200?

The internet and ease of access has honestly ruined people's minds. Nobody uses their brain anymore and they need phones to tell them everything. Sad really..

Because I have bills that don't post immediately, don't be pretentious

That, and it's a good diagnostic tool to determine if e.g. you have shady utility companies who like to try to double-post your payments, or screw up and don't cash your check/take your payment and don't inform you about the problem, but then later try to get up your nose about being "late." Both of these things have happened to me at some point in history through no fault of my own.

Or to just catch suspicious/fraudulent charges in general, which I think these days especially everyone will agree is a potential happenstance.

What "ought" to be is one thing, but being able to readily check what actually is, is also vital. I always check my transaction records regularly to make sure nothing is going on behind my back that I ought to know about.

Would you sacrifice security for it though...

Yup, "oh no, the robber saw over my shoulder I have $42 in my account, whatever am I to do? I could lose everything!"

You're right, sometimes people are wrong, like yourself in this instance, no ones going to force you to use it my man

Everyone is different. Get over yourself

Sometimes people are WRONG. Learn to understand that. Demanding convenience over security is a seriously stupid take.
