I was trying to balance my check book the other night. I couldn't get it to balance to save my life. It took Berta an hour, but she managed to figure out that I was being stupid. I didn't take out the right amounts on some of my entries. Am I the only fool out there, or do I I have company.

Actually I ALWAYS write down the correct amounts but when I subtract I always subtract lower just because I saw my mom do this.

I always have more in the bank than what I am shown.

Any ways, I check our bank online as well and keep the deposit slips.

Last year before going back to Seattle we were depositing our money from our wedding reception (checks and cash) and the lady *forgot* to deposit ONLY the cash amount and I made her redo it. She was trying to say she would later, NO WAY. She claimed she just forgot to count it.

Any ways, a few weeks later she was arrested because she was taking money (just the cash) from people's deposits.

Now I am diligent.

Wow! That's bold! I'm glad you didn't get dinged by her.

I didn't used to be, but it seems to be happening more and more.

On line is the way to go now.
There is no longer a need to balance ones check book; at least not the old way with the T accounts or the one on the back of your statement.

These days, things happen much quicker...so what I do is go on-line to my bank stuff, take their balance shown----subtract what my check book shows----and usually the difference is a check or an electronic payment I've made in that last couple days.
Check book balancing is sooooooooo much nicer now...and this from a guy that would work on balancing even if I was off by One Cent! :)

p.s. ONE WEEK TO GO DUDE!!! :)

I've tried to get hooked up with my banks on line banking, but I never could get it to work.

I can't believe the wedding is almost here.

My family isn't do in until late on Tuesday, so I'm going to go to the meeting.

yeah it can be a pain to start, but well worth the effort I feel.

Ok, what time is the meeting again? I'm going too; just to see what's up and say hi to some folks. Cheryl (umm forget her last name...of Cheryl and Jen fame) got a job at Boeing but 2nd shift so no bowling for her.
There is more on her I'll tell ya outside of here...maybe Tuesday. :)

The meeting is at 6:30. Good Cheryl bad for everyone else. I don't think I ever knew her last name.
