I still use money orders. Not for myself but my dad. All my payments are made electronically and purchases are made with a Visa check card.
However in the last year, my dad has got to the point that I have to make his payments for him. He is 80 years old and has never had a checking account. He has always used money orders and will not change. So while all my payments are point and click, I still have the chore of going to the bank and buying money orders, addressing envelopes, buying stamps and mailing bills.
