There are so few things (if any at all) in life that you can control and have it come out just right! I think this is why I derive such satisfaction from balancing my checkbook to the penny.

Thank you Debbie B. I thought I was the only one who liked balancing her checkbook because it feels good when it balances (and most of the time it does).

Oh My! balancing the checkbook has changed….I use Quicken. It downloads info from credit cards, my bank account etc. all for free! I tracks it all! On the computer, but, with the benefits of the internet….track my investments as well….My ex used the paper method and Algebra….Now, that was twisted….

I agree with Mugsy and you other cautious folks. I use Quicken and my computer to do our accounting — BUT NEVER ONLINE, like never on Sunday ur sumthin. Drives me crazy when businesses ask for my Social Security number. That’s preposterous and dangerous. I fussed when that all started quite awhile ago, and I was right. Ain’t RIGHT, business just lazy. Government should not allow it. It needs to stop! Anyone else feel that way? P.S. I like to balance my check book to the penny, too. For me, though, it is most often a hard won accomplishment. Computer does such nutty things. Just don’t understand how that happens? :):):):)
