How often do u check your bank etc

BackOnTrack

I check 2 or 3 times a week, don't run a spreadsheet for it though.

update my nice secure password protected spreadsheet

If your spreadsheet is excel it isn't that secure, if security is important for it I would suggest using file encryption.

I check mine everyday apart from Saturday.

I do too!!! Online banking is my most favoritest invention ever!

For a giggle......I know a woman who uses phone banking - i've sat there with her in the car before she goes shopping whilst she pays ££££'s on the phone for 5 minutes trying to find out her balance, and what has gone out recently!! lols! I have suggested she gets online (as she has an iPhone so could do it easily) clearly has money to spare!!

It doesn't have any passwords, account numbers or anything sensitive on it.... mainly to keep out the casual/nosey intruder

I check mine every day, sometimes twice a day! Its a good job I do, I just noticed a standing order for my old loan (paid off on 14th December) had been taken out of my account for £383.00 today!!!!!! A quick phone call and its all sorted, but just think if I hadn't checked....... I love online banking, its the best thing ever, but I sometimes feel I might be becoming a bit anal about my finances......... :-)

Check it almost every day and hate weekends as that is when it isn't updated but that is when I do most of my spending! Sometimes it takes ages to come out! I have paper though, I know it's sad but I used to use Microsoft Money and they wanted £40 for the new version so I bought a triple ledger from WH for £3!

I check my DD account each morning before I go to work (most payments have already come out) and update my spreadsheet.

My debit card is my spending card and only transfer what I need for the week to it... once it's gone, it's gone but I still check it every day to make sure any card payments/online payments I made the previous day shows!

Had a little panic attack this morning as one of my debt repayments is due on the 3rd of each month and I remember that while I was doing the faster payment, the banking site froze just after I'd made the payment.... and I couldn't find it anywhere on my statement, even though I'd already checked it weeks ago! I was looking in the wrong account!
