more math
Called myself balancing my checkbook last night. My credit union says that I have $22.53 more than my checkbook register says, even after accounting for pending transactions. So where is this discrepancy coming from? I found it by putting all my recent receipt amounts into my checkbook register and coming up with a new checkbook balance, before comparing that balance to the amount my credit union says is my actual balance.
I would understand if maybe I thought I had more money that the credit union said I had, and the reason for the discrepancy is that I didn’t account for a purchase I made.
But this is different. Surely I haven’t subtracted $22.53 more than I’ve actually spent. You know, just for the heck of it.
*Sigh* Not that I was planning on spending down to my last dime, but now I have to be extra conscientious about my spending, until I figure out what my balance actually is.
