[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm doing what my mom taught me many years ago, writing down each payment or check (now almost all online bill payments) in the check register so I know the balance and what it will be up to two weeks ahead since I pay bills twice a month. I just thought everyone did that. Am I putting too much effort into this?[/quote]

My DH and I do this, too, PP.  It's the way we can keep track of both our spending and make sure we are both on the same page, and we both know what our balance is.  Other than that, he pretty much doesn't pay attn. to things; I am the day-to-day money manager.  Depending upon my mood, I'll check on-line every few days, noting which checks have cleared, checking to make sure there's nothing fraudulent or weird going on, etc.  Then every 2 weeks, when we get paid, I pay bills and balance everything, and send him the updated balance and any new info.  Works for us.  I like staying on top of things and just knowing where we are.  It's not b/c the balance is low or anything like that.  I'm just that type of person, I suppose.   :P[/quote]
