We have no debt and Mortgage will be gone by April but I check bank every day, mainly to check nothing un-authorised has gone out.
I am old enough (52) to remember a paper bank statement every 3 months - I would hate to go back to that (although all pay was in cash)Totally Debt Free & Mortgage Free Semi retired and happy0 -
I check my balances every morning and if I'm expecting anything to go out that day I check them in the evening too. I update my finances spreadsheet every day (it has 12 different sheets for various things!).
Payday fills me with utter glee because I get to do my account shuffle and update all my savings balances (when I was debt busting it was my debt remaining balances!).
Yep. I'm definitely obsessed!DEBT FREE 3rd Sept 2011

I spend quite a lot of time obsessing over my financial spreadsheet too - I fiddle around and adjust figures such as how much I pay off my credit card each month to see how much of a difference it makes in the time its going to take me to clear itI smile because I have no idea what is going on0
