RECORD KEEPING OF BANK DEPOSITS

I am pretty lucky because I can budget my checking account basicly by memory. However I know alot of things that may help. One thing I do is use online bill pay through my bank. I pay all my bills through there and they deduct it from my account. It works great. Then at anytime I can go into my account and see what has been paid and on what day. I also like that with this I do not have to wait around for checks to clear. As far as your spending. Keep your recited and write down your spending in your check book. Hope this helps!
