Old habits I guess. Using the computer always seems like too much trouble. But then, they taught me how to add and subtract back when even adding machines were big, heavy monstrosities far out of the financial reach of many ordinary consumers, including my parents.

I find it saves a lot of aggravation to reconcile the checkbook and get an updated balance one per month - it never takes more than 10 minutes. At the end of the year I simply print out a report of taxable expenditures to work on the taxes. |
