Quod erat demonstrandum

That which was to be proved...

*ahem*

Is this thing on? Testing... testing... 1. 2. 3.

OK, for the record. ...

Let it be known that every time I balance my checkbook I get a different answer. Let it be further known that CD is just as unlcuky as I am. And whereas we can spend like misers, and agree almost 100% on our priorities - neither of us can track our money even if we were given a bloodhound.

We are solvent and saving because of - Monica. She is our bookkeeper. She runs a company of bonded and wonderful bookkeepers. And they, amazingly, work with families as well as businesses.

She tracks our money. We take the allowance she assigns and don't worry about another thing. We talk with her once a week about what's been paid and the balances and what we're going to need. And then once a month we pay her a very, very reasonable fee.

And we never fight about money.

And everything is paid.

So, again. For the record.

I am a dumbass when it comes to budgeting. I am, however, a lucky and blessed son-of-a-bear when it comes to asking for help.

Thus endeth the confession.

P.S. If you want Monica's information, just send me an email.

I'd actually love Monica's e-mail (and she has a great name, by the way!).

This is a strategy that I recommend HIGHLY to all my clients. In fact we keep one of the local bookkeepers in business, practically, with all our referrals.

Of course, in the true cobbler's daughter sense, I SUCK at bookkeeping, but am too cheap to hire one!

That is very cool. Very, very cool. Beats my approach, which is to hold the check in my hand and say, "gee, feels like there ought to be enough money in the account to cover this one".

Woot!

I'm an accountant and I'm not that good!

(um, not even close). Maybe I should be calling Monica?
