Rather than saying, 'My checking account is a wreck,' change it to 'I will learn how to track my spending and balance my checkbook.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted to build a tool for my generation: people 20 to 40 who don't want to spend time balancing a checkbook or checking multiple financial institutions' websites. Mint does just that, giving comprehensive, quick insights into a user's finances from their computer, mobile phone and/or tablet.
If you want your checkbook to follow your heart, make a donation to those doing work you support.
My grandmother Izzy taught me to balance her checkbook when I was 6 years old. She would sign the checks after I paid the bills. I had a chuckle with my grandmother recently on how 'unbalanced' her checkbook must have been years ago.
I am not going to take a role because there's money. It might extend my checkbook, but not my integrity.
Learning how to keep track of inventory and cash flow and creating an income statement and a balance sheet are great skills to learn for managing existing businesses.
Don't let your mouth write a check that your tail can't cash.
If there's not enough money in the bank account, you don't spend it.
Most people don't reconcile their bank accounts.
I wouldn't change a thing - except my bank balance.
If you spend five minutes with me or watch me try to balance my checkbook, you can only imagine the disaster I would make of anyone's legal issues.
