[GNC] what is best reconcile/update procedure?

[Ken Pyzik]

Ah, Liz, your answer was the best for me.  You see, technically, you could flip the script on my argument and say - explain to me your daily obsession of looking at your balances every day!  As I said at the end of the rant - my 1 minute a day probably equates to your 30 minutes at the end of the month.  But my only other argument would be that by doing it much more often - I only have to track 0, 1, or a couple of transaction - whereas someone at the end of the month may have up to 100 transactions to account for.  I am a simple person — so keeping track of a few transactions is a lot easier that a month's full!  Again — just my preference.

Thanks for the reply — it made me smile!

Ken

Simple, I have multiple bank accounts, and don't look at everything
every day, because "I have other things to do".
