How often do you look at your bank balance?

Most days even if I haven`t spent anything just to make sure nothing has gone astray. I did pay £580 balance on a bed only to find that the company had taken out £1580, If I didn`t check regularly then it wouldn`t have been discovered as quickly.0

When I didn't have internet banking, I never used to check it... but now I have it, I find myself checking my balance obsessively. Usually just after midnight every night, to see whether anything has been deposited/withdraw.
I love First Direct's money manager... if you have a lot of accounts you can store all your username and passwords and it just takes one click to update everything - you can see all your balances one one screen, and it logs into everything for you. I wouldn't be without it!0 -
I check every day and have done since my LBM. Like others I like to know exactly what's happening rather than a horrible surprise when I try to use my card!!Debt at LBM July 2013: [STRIKE]£46,085.88[/STRIKE] :eek: Debt today: £36,501.67
20.8% down, 79.2% to go!

Its like my pay slip, i know how much im gonna gte but as soon as i get it i have to open it to see if i get a little bonus. I know how much is in my account, but i just like to check in case!!
Plus i like to see if my bills have come out/payments i have made have come out as it makes me feel better knowing they have gone!!
I am addicted i think

Had my LBM in the Summer and now look at my online account everyday and always know within a few £ what should be in there.
Its a lovely feeling not dreading looking
