[GNC] Do I Have Use for Liability Acounts

[Phyllis Bruce]

Liability accounts are not overkill for household finances.  Sorry to hear
about the scam!  However, if you have a credit card you will enter a
liability account for the card - one for each credit card.  Liability
basically means - what you owe someone.

Given a credit card, you will reconcile that statement to the bank
statements when you make a payment.
