I was thinking today that I am going to have to come up with another system. I have my cheque book which I write all my debits and credits, but I have been using cc more and then paying that off at the end of the month, so I don't have so many transaction charges. But, again I fail to keep that up sometimes. Wondering if I should make a binder instead? hrm. thinking on it. let us know what you end up doing! :)Terhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427090425449970893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069766352588066139.post-63651191082299692782007-12-05T15:11:00.000-05:002007-12-05T15:11:00.000-05:00We used to use quicken, now we do everything onlin...We used to use quicken, now we do everything online.

It can be tricky, and some banks aren't very good at explaining their system.<BR/><BR/>But, wow, once you get it, it's so nice.Anjalihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17469613639032593194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069766352588066139.post-28176272645342103562007-12-04T11:22:00.000-05:002007-12-04T11:22:00.000-05:00I have never used online banking but I RARELY writ...I have never used online banking but I RARELY write a check. We have all our bills debit automatically to our checking acct. To do that, we call the cust svc of each bill (mortgage, utility, insurance, etc.) Some need to post to a credit card; in those cases we have a Visa check card that functions like an atm so we register the bill with that and it auto-deducts, as well. With this system, we have direct deposit for paychecks in to the bank account.<BR/><BR/>We never have a late payment because of our system and thus our credit rating is AWESOME and I'm not spending 41 cents per bill to mail anything!<BR/><BR/>4 years ago we began using Quicken; with one click, it downloads our bank activity, and we can also manually input what bills are coming up, checks we have written, etc. It also links to our credit card and we download that activity, as well. <BR/><BR/>The only "manual" online payment I have to make is to my credit card, but I use quicken to help me figure out how much I should pay per pay period (we pay it off every month, but usually pay more in one part of the month than the other).<BR/><BR/>I'd highly recommend using Quicken if your bank's website is compatible with it. [note: Some banks MAY charge you to direct-link to it but doing a download from their site and pasting it into quicken is often free. ]<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your organization!<BR/><BR/>:)brandy101https://www.blogger.com/profile/17279874906424110849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069766352588066139.post-44133724665563058642007-12-04T10:27:00.000-05:002007-12-04T10:27:00.000-05:00You're hitting me where I live with this one.

Internet banking has actually helped me a lot, but I still find it mortifying that I'm not more organized in my financial life.RuthWellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00022925821891020061noreply@blogger.com
