What's your checkbook look like....

My checkbook is pretty well balanced. If I don't write in my checks/debits right away, I put the receipts in the register and balance at the end of the day. I also check my account activity online every couple of days to make sure I haven't missed anything.

My check book? is not a mess, but i think it's too small to write down every income and expense in there...and i have another book to do it...bigger one...and i make it really easy just a simple accounting for housewife..LOL

I keep a very well maintained chequebook having full details about the cheques their values and to whom they have been issued. Apart from this i have maintained an account in excel on my computer and know the balances in all accounts instantly. I maintain accounts of myself, my husband, my father in law and huf accounts.

HA ha HA ha I am still now saved from this duties because i am a student and dont have to manage the bills and checkbooks , god save me from those :)

I won't do the add and substract for my checks or debit payment.What i did is each time i have any payment from debit card or check transaction , i will log in to my account to make sure the transaction is correct and update my current balance .I think check online is more accurate then i do it manualy .It's important to keep your account balance update so that you won't over spend.

I don't actually use my paper checkbook register anymore. I do everything on the computer, and have for several years. So it keeps all of my stuff organized for me, as long as I remember to enter my receipts into the computer. I usually do every couple of days, so it stays pretty up-to-date.

I don't put my debits/credits in every time but I do about once a week. I actually use a spreadsheet and I through the receipts in the folder with my spreadsheet. This way I can still keep up with how much money we've got in the account too. Then when I get our statement I check it to make sure I didn't forget to add anything. We usually forget a couple of things like gas.

You mean I'm suppose to keep track of the checks and debits that I make? Oh my gosh!! For real though, I haven't kept track of my checkbook in over a year. I'm just super careful and watch my bank statement online everyday or every other day. Most of the time I carry cash with me whenever I go shopping or buy gas so I don't have to worry about keeping updated on that. I tried to post this yesterday but mylot was having issues and wouldn't let me post it.
