I just finished balancing one checkbook and found money! A little less than $50, but it feels great to have my checkbook register and the bank agree on how much I have. Of course, this was the account with less activity and the one I’ve always been better about keeping track of…

Now, back to the other account. This is my main bill-paying one and may be a bit more of a project. Plus, I still have yet to find that one statement and I have a feeling I won’t be able to square this away without it. Once I finish this project and mark this goal complete, this will all be a huge weight off my shoulders and I can FINALLY move on. As crazy and philosophical as this may sound, I think this could be a turning point in my life. Just feeling that I’ve pulled the reins in on a huge piece of my finances will put me in great shape.

Halfway there! :)
