So, I got the old typewriter out of storage and showed him that you could actually type words directly onto paper! (without sending them to the printer first.)

[For the record, I haven't paper or "quicken" balanced my checkbook in at least 10 years. I only write 1-2 paper checks/month and keep all balances on-line.]

I balance all 46 of my currently active accounts using Quicken, but not all of those accounts have checkwriting privileges.

I balance all 34 of my investment accounts at least quarterly using QuickBooks.

I tried using Quicken, but found it a little too fancy and cute for me.

No balancing for me... I used to do it religiously in school, but that was because I couldn't afford not knowing my exact balance down to the cent. Now that I've got a big cushion, there's no need for that level of detail.
