Do you ever get afraid to look at your statement?

Maybe you've gone a week without updating your check book (well I use a debit and Excel) or since vacation, say.

And then you feel confident you have money .... until you spend more ... then you get nervous?

That's BAD - lol.

I just went and did it - I bought a Stam. But then expenses popped up, now I need to figure out the percentages of my bills to pay.

I was sick all last week and I need to catch up.

So if you're like I am ... check often! I guess that's the advice I have. Go through your book too. Always keep a book!

I know how you feel. I'm always anxious when I check my account balance.

i have that same problem too. i'm an impulsive shopper, and i tend to shop more than my supposed budget. i like visiting these forums cause i'm reminded of how responsible i have to be of my finances.
