A big con for an older person is death. Should I die it would leave my
widow helpless. There is no way I can teach her to manage electronic
transactions. She would be stuck with past due bills that she couldn't
cope with. So I insist on paper despite the fact that electronic would
be more convenient for me.

People need to give some thought to death.
