I look a lot because there isn't a lot of cushion there. If there was, I wouldn't. -- nm - TFox Oct 13, 08:10 10
- But in theory, it should matter. You know what is in and what is coming out (checks, debits, etc). It's not like the bank balance is "true" - oblique Oct 13, 08:11 8
  - so, you check Quicken every day, I check my balance online every day. - znufrii Oct 13, 08:14 4
    - No, I only look at Quicken once a week when I pay the bills -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:15 3

        Seriously, use Quicken, even the free online one. Once you know where everything is going, it is so much easier to manage -- nm - oblique Oct 13, 08:19 1

  - Which works if you, y'know, never have to cheat. Or don't have your wife occasionally needing the debit card to buy diapers and stuff. - TFox Oct 13, 08:12 2
    - This is what credit cards are for - oblique Oct 13, 08:13 1
      - Which would be great if... - TFox Oct 13, 08:14
- that too. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 08:10
well, if I hadn't I'd have never known my automatic payment for the cable bill went through earlier than I had expected. -- nm - znufrii Oct 13, 08:08
