Do you keep your checkbook balanced?
Back when, I used to always balance it using Quicken (when that was what Quicken mostly did). Since then I no longer use Quicken, but still balance my checkbook. I do it the old fashioned way, (pencil, calculator).
I did find a nice spreadsheet that pretty much does the same thing as the pencil/calculator method. Here it is if you are interested:

My funny way of balancing a long time ago was to have two checkbooks. When one would get out of balance with too many checks on it, I'd use the other checkbook to let the first one idle until all the checks cleared. How's that for making more work for myself
