Open thread here: what did you do before online banking?
This might sound like a silly question, but for as long as I've been managing my money, I've been banking online. I honestly don't know life without it.
But you might.
How did you manage your money before you had access to the Internet? Did you use software like Quicken, or keep a hand budget?
How about balancing your checkbook? (I've never done it before.)
Did you (do you) keep all your receipts? I just check my charges online, since I pretty much only use a debit card.
Let us know: what did you do before online banking?
Before there was online banking, I would balance my checkbook using my bank statement. Good thing I don't have to wait for a statement to balance my checkbook now.
Back in the days before the Internet and online banking, pretty much the only cheques I wrote every month were for rent, electricity and the phone. Add it groceries and beer, and it wasn't too complex, even with paper records.
