Ever. EVER. The only time I reconsider this rule is if it is immediate family. When someone gives me a personal check I look them in the eye and ask them if the money is in the account or should I hold the check. When it is time for me to cash it, I take it to their bank (inscribed on the check). This way, I will know immediately if it is good or not because their bank will not give me the cash if it is not in their account. That way, I don't end up with a check bouncing in my account and me having to pay fees for something that was not my fault. I work for a small company and recently, I took my pay check to their bank only to be told that there was not enough money in their business account to cover my check. See what I mean. If I work for a larger company, I do opt for direct deposit, though, and I don't worry because I have never had problems in those cases. Hope this helps. V-- Hey Kiddo,
