For many years I had no idea how much money was in my account and I bounced checks all to frequently. Now I keep track of everything in quicken and know exactly how much I have, how much I owe and what I will pay every day up to 3 months in advance. All it takes is a few minutes each day -- boy does it remove alot of anxiety! Have a wonderful Friday, makingourway Jeff,

So a couple of years ago, I started to round up my entries just to make sure all of his purchases would be covered, and in addition to covering his unknown amounts, I was amazed to see how much extra had added up for the year. That money now goes into our savings at the end of the year.
