Secret Savings
Thursday, July 17, 2008
I discoverd what I like to call secert savings many years ago.when I write a check say 26.42 I put the amount in the payment colum,but I put 27.00 in the balance colum.When my statement comes in I balance my book leaveing savings invisable .Also when pay check go's to direct deposit if it's 627.13 I only add 600.00 to check book. This builds a nice little savings ,if there's no emergencies, at the end of the year I turn it over to savings account.I have built a nice little nest egg for those extras we sometimes have to have without building debt on charge cards.

My business teacher in college did this with her check book and it used to absolutly drive her husband crazy! He's an accountant and accustomed to having things to the very penny and she said he would literally pull his hair out trying to balance her check book. This might be a
better idea to use if only one person is using the account. :-)
