Your social security idea is not so bad.  The folks who say that almost everyone has direct deposit are just plain wrong.  For October 2001, almost half of all recipients still received checks -- that is 3,312,883 checks versus 3,358,748 direct deposit.

I agree - how many 90+ year-olds trust "direct deposit" - they want that check in their hands!
