Lesson #5 (from my mobile device): Transaction Registers
Transaction Registers are so important! What are they?? Oh, they are those little books that fit snuggly into your purse (ladies) or your wallet (fellas) where you jot down your transactions in order to keep a running account balance. With the increased use of check cards (see lesson # 2 & 3) stores place debits on hold & it can be confusing if you have outstanding checks & all these check card transactions. So run into your local bank & ask for a couple transaction registers.  Begin jotting down each transactiong, not only will you feel more secure when you write that next check you may also curb your spending habits when you see exactly where your last check went. So off into the wild wild world of finances...and remember capital counts ; )
