[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 50's.  I stopped balancing my checking in my 30's.  At that point, I started doing 90% of my business (now it's more like 98%) by cc.  I log into each account about twice a month.  I review all transations on my cc's and against my checking and savings accounts.  I look at each transaction to the $100 and make sure that there's nothing egregious.  But I wouldn't know if I wrote a check or charged a transaction for $123.45 and it was billed as $132.54.  I check my cc's to make sure that my wife or I actually visited that place at that time (and I have caught a few erroneous transactions).  I check my checking account for the small handful of checks I write each year.  I check my checking account for the direct deposit from my secondary job and my savings account for the direct deposit from my primary job.  I don't balance, but I check for transactions and make sure that I maintain a steady balance in my checking and savings accounts and transfer money to/from the money market if needed.[/quote]
