That would take a little control away from me though, and I'm a bit of a control-freak. But not so much that my balance ever agrees with the bank.<BR/><BR/>saz--peel and dice some apples, mix them with some sugar, cinnamon, nutmet, little bit of flour and fill those pastry cups. Bake until golden. Top with ice cream or whipped cream and you have something that looks fancy but was soooo easy<BR/><BR/>jay--I obviously didn't inherit the "math" gene in the family.Kellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07275488871572628293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053294.post-1154979888566452612006-08-07T15:44:00.000-04:002006-08-07T15:44:00.000-04:00I've never been good at balancing my checkbook. Oh...I've never been good at balancing my checkbook. Oh I can do that math just fine. It's just that it is such a pain. But, online banking has solved all that for me too.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134850383532818765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20053294.post-1154969998030555342006-08-07T12:59:00.000-04:002006-08-07T12:59:00.000-04:00I used to have the same check register problem you...I used to have the same check register problem you do for the same reason (an out of state internet bank). Here is the solution that works for me:<BR/><BR/>1. I stopped balancing my checkbook - I figured in twenty years the bank had never made a mistake so when my balance was off it was because I made a mistake. I worked up to this approach by ignoring any mistake under $200 and just added or subtracted account differences from my checkbook register.<BR/><BR/>2. Then I stopped keeping a check register all together, because I figured if I'm not balancing my checkbook anymore why don't I just look on the internet to see what my balance is and not worry about keeping a register. This works best if you only write a few checks a month, and with online bill pay is much easier than it was several years ago.<BR/><BR/>If you keep a savings account tied to your checking with some overdraft protection, this approach makes life much simpler.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
