Should I allow Google to manage my passwords? Do you?

How else can we make it easy for them to scan them all?

I've never really invested in a password manager, mainly because I JUST DON'T TRUST THEM.

My password manager is a piece of paper under my keyboard that I look at when I need to use it.
I make changes in pen for awhile, then do the following:

- insert an SD card that has the file on it
- a script detects card and opens the password file in gedit
- I make changes and print out a new paper
- When I quit gedit, card is unmounted, I put it back in drawer.

My main reason for not trusting password managers is that they are obviously a prime target for hackers. I can't see any hacker caring about me, I don't have the kind of money they want, but why take the chance? I also don't trust any web solution as being secure.
