@melissakristintv: This is what I was taught. What about you?? When I first opened a bank account, I balanced my checkbook for the first couple of years until I got cozy with online banking. I was not looking forward to having to do it for the rest of my life. 😝 My mom still says it’s a good idea to keep track of pending charges or mistakes the bank can make, but let’s face it — life’s got me way too exhausted for that! 😭 But I have immense respect for those who still do it, and grew up doing it all these years!! Would really love to know if any fellow millennials keep track of this the way boomers and (assuming some of Gen X) have through the years. #millennials #2000s #nostalgia #checkbook #millennial #genx #boomers #over30 #relatable #fyp

I never knew "balancing the check book" ment see how much money you have. I thought it was to check if any checks where missing or something

No clue what a checkbook is but i highly recommend using Excel to budget or any app that is out there 😅 maths = eventual financial freedom

instead of balancing a checkbook just use a spreadsheet that way you can check the bank's math

If you have kids, the school and other organizations will hold checks for months. You need to confirm the checks you’re waiting on.

As someone who works in banking please don’t blindly follow what’s on your bank app. So many ppl don’t keep a register and that’s how they overdraw
