9 things retirees should never keep in their wallets

Paper Checks

If you’re still occasionally writing paper checks, like some of us, that’s not going to end in retirement.

But even a lost check you’ve already filled out can lead to financial loss, perhaps long after you’ve canceled and forgotten about it.

Only carry paper checks when you will absolutely need them. And leave the checkbook at home, bringing only the exact number of checks you anticipate needing that day.
