You don't have to balance a check book if you have online banking. Debit card, credit card, checks with online banking all from the same bank makes banking mighty easy.

Unless you right a 4-5 checks that don’t get cashed for awhile. Then you have to figure in the outstanding checks to know how much money you got. Right?


My checks are 4 per month , they are logged into my checkbook , all but one is the same amount each month. I never even get close to overdrawing. I do check the monthly statement against the online transactions and amount. I mainly look for activity that I didn't do or an amount that doesn't match. Do you not check your debit receipts against your statement or online periodically ?

I look at my account online a few times a day on my phone. It’s takes about 15-20 seconds to make sure there are no debits that are not mine. My biggest problem I’ve found is that my wife buys something off Amazon thinking she used her debit card but she accidentally used mine. When this happens, I text her, she says it was her, she Venmos me the money and it’s back in my account in 10 minutes. I need to start charging her interest 😁
