I love when your check book balances the first time.
You get that letter in the mail from the bank, put off opening it until you have time to sit down with your checkbook, a pen and your calculator. It is such a wonderful feeling when the first number you come out with matches exactly. There was not a missing check number. There is not a questionable number that you can't read...is that a 7 or a 1? It's the simple things...
Am I old school? Does everyone still balance their check book by hand?

Ha ha! No! I use online banking, and I don't even write anything down anymore in the register. After I make a purchase, in seconds the bank shows it. For checks, I have an excel spreadsheet I do my monthly budget in.
But you made me smile!
Yes your mother does:)
I live and die by the debit card. I rarely write checks, never have cash and half the time forget to write down the amounts for my debit card purchases. Plus Dana uses his card, and I never see receipts. So I check on-line every other day or so and balance from there. I NEVER look at my statements.
You're old school. :-)
