2 YEARS??? You scare me!!! Seriously, how do you sleep? | |

2 YEARS??? You scare me!!! Seriously, how do you sleep? Very well, thanks. Nah, if I think I'm doing poorly, I just call and check. I'll occasionally write things down if I'm trying to budget for a large purchase or save for something, but that's about it. I used to be quite anal about it all, checking my balance nightly to make sure I'd written everything down correctly and such, but along the way I decided I didn't want to be quite so strict about things and relaxed a bit. Now I've gone a bit too far, though, so I've got to reign myself back in. |

I know I'm outdated & believe me the amount of paper in my house makes me fucking NUTS!!! But I ain't ready to let it go yet I like knowing that I can look in my purse & know what's happening instead of having to log on somewhere... I still pay most of my bills with paper checks Matt, you'll be glad to know I ALWAYS use my debit card in stores I still write a lot of checks, even at the market. And my checkbook is always balanced. | |

Tracking your expenses is one of the best ways to save. It's very empowering, because then you can put your money to the things you truly value. | |
