Time to Reconcile

April 12th, 2016 at 01:18 am

I'm posting here to remind myself to log into all of our accounts tomorrow so I can reconcile all of them on YNAB. I usually do it at the end of the month. It seems I forget to do it at the end of March. Oops!

I want to get it complete and get any errors corrected before payday on Friday. I'm pretty sure that I, not DH, have missed a couple of transactions. One of them may be the Diet Bet funds. Not sure.

I bought a book of stamps today. Saved a whopping $0.40 by waiting until the price dropped! I also avoided buying a $8 anniversary card at Walmart. I honestly didn't know such expensive cards existed at Walmart. I opted for one that was just $3.50, which still seems like to much. I recycled so many cards in the last several months, it just seems like a waste. I did suggest to my husband a few days ago that we go look at the cards together and pick one out for each other, read them and then put them back. He thought that was lame. I guess he's convinced cards are worth it.

Do you reconcile your checkbook or budget software? What do you think about the cost of greeting cards?

    We haven't purchased a greeting card for any family member in YEARS. The only ones we've purchased are for co-workers or family friends and those are mostly from the dollar store. The cost is so outrageous these days... crazy waste of our hard earned dollars is what we think. I also hate receiving cards myself as I am not one to keep cards for sentimental value. I suppose I'm a sour prude haha.

    I will not spend over a dollar on cards. I try for 50 cents whenever possible.

    We don't do cards. Just not our thing, but probably more from an environmental standpoint than from a cost standpoint. That and just not generally seeing the point. So I have no idea what they cost?

    Your suggestion about the card had me cracking up. In our house, there would be a role reversal, I would be your hubby and my husband would be you. ☺️ I buy two for a dollar at he dollar store.

    The last thing I thought you were going to talk about was your finances. I was sure you were going to make up with someone. I guess I should remind myself this is, after all, a personal finance website!

    I love your idea about recycling cards--my husband thinks it's lame, too.
