So I’m 20 years old and live in an apartment complex by my University. The way this apartment is setup is you have five roommates with separate leases per apartment. It’s a pretty nice one and only 3 years old and I like living there a lot! When I first moved in I would pay everything I had to on Resident Portal. Then I started noticing something. To use my checking account, it was charging me a $6 convenience fee per transaction. So I decided to order a $17 box of checks from my bank (four checkbooks) and realized something so obvious. This box of checks would pay for itself in three months and last me a way long time. There is no fee for paying rent by check. Then I started to realize all of the bills I was paying online that were charging me these fees I use to just look past. It turns out I’m in the very minority of 20 year olds who pay rent by check. Well it also turns out that most people in the complex I live in happen to be college students who’s parents pay for their expenses. So bringing it up to my roommates about them saving money was pointless because they don’t even pay their rent ( that also tend to bring a lot of its own problems like asking if they received a random charge on their bill and they have no clue). Anyways, is it odd for a 20 year old to use a checkbook? I also log all of my expenses in a register because I kept forgetting about pending charges and they would come as a surprise. So I started logging them in a register. 

So as of now, they still release new movies on DVD and Blueray. The importance of a physical media format comes with the question of how long you plan to keep the movie you purchased. For example, Apple can delete a movie you "bought" on Itunes and there is nothing you can do about it. You can buy a DVD, or Blueray Disk but they are so costly, and have the movie for as long as you take care of it. With this being said, why would people ditch the physical media format, other than convenience, and totally rely on a digital copy for keeping? If they discontinue the physical media format, that will put big companies in control of our own personal library and they can decide to delete whatever movie they want that we bought. Thank you all for the answers!
