I also balance with a paper check register, pen and phone calculator :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-876049 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 07:33:37 +0000 Dandelion 876049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I check my personal account online every morning and whenever I'm contemplating buying something a little more expensive.</p> <p>I have do idea what DH's balance is. Not that I'm allowed to, I just let him deal with it, since it's the money for our bills. He just tells me when to go online and pay them, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-876043 Sat, 22 Jun 2013 07:31:11 +0000 hilsy85 876043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: same!!!looking at the balances stresses me out ern though there's plenty in there--I have this fear that one day I'll check as there will be no money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875575 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 21:37:26 +0000 swedishfish 875575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH usually handles the finances but I'm getting back into it. I felt lost having no idea what was going on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875569 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 21:34:35 +0000 yin 875569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea. I let DH handle the finances. He has a better idea of the cash flow, and I would just get freaked out if I took a peek without actually knowing what's going on. I prefer not to be stressed out by it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875390 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 19:53:52 +0000 Sapphiresun 875390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know ball park. I check it every couple days on mint.com and we keep a fair amount in there so I'm never worried about covering bills, but it could have changed since yesterday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875348 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 19:20:06 +0000 MrsF 875348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. DH is on mint all the time so I sort of let him worry about it. That's horrible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875292 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 18:44:11 +0000 wheres_c 875292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875282 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 18:37:26 +0000 teamjse 875282@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know the general amount and not exact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875238 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 18:01:33 +0000 Espion 875238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! I had to make sure there's enough in there to cover the rest of our insurance deductible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875235 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:58:34 +0000 Raindrop 875235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually don't, mostly because it's kind of hard. :) We make it easy by having an amount we know we can spend freely and we just try our best to spend less than that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875234 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:57:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 875234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No; I know generally how much is in there. We use our credit card to pay for everything and then pay it off at the end of the month, so except for the mortgage and student loans, nothing ever comes out of our checking until the end of the month when we pay the cc bill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875228 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:51:25 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 875228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I check ours every other day so while I don't know the exact number, I know the general number! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875219 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:46:51 +0000 Caly 875219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Checked it yesterday for the first time in a few months.

I updated our budget spreadsheet yesterday! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875189 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:31:23 +0000 Running Elley 875189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yepp. I update our budget spreadsheet once a week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875183 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 17:29:01 +0000 katsupgirl 875183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just checked online today.

I check Mint daily, actually, so I know the balance of every single account we have. I'm a little obsessive. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-your-checking-account-balance#post-875035 Fri, 21 Jun 2013 16:18:15 +0000 autumnlove 875035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I balance my checkbook obsessively with a pen, paper register and calculator. I prefer doing this over using an app or program. </p>
