I'm having trouble following you. What's the difference between monitoring your finances electronically and monitoring them with paper and pencil?

I use my online banking statement, but I use it in conjunction with the paper check book. If you only use the online statements, then you may forget about checks/pending payments/charges that take time to clear/etc...

If you do this, then you are more likely to overdraw your account.

I only write 1 check per month and that's for rent.

S'all about online bill pay bayBEE 🙂

I do, though i round the change, i round up for purchases and down for deposits, i've got about a $5 buffer through that method, but i knwo i'll never overdraw if i write a check for the amount i show in my checkbook....i balance around once a month, between the receipts i have, and my online statement, as well as with my checkbook
