Organize Your Finances

Record Your Expenses

All transactions that are withdrawn or deposited into your bank account must be recorded:
  • All receipts
  • All written checks
  • Bank service charges if applicable
  • Paychecks
  • All online transactions
  • Any other financial obligations

I recommend using your checkbook register that came with your checks. Otherwise, you can request one from your bank or download register templates from your computer. If you record transactions once a day, and verify with your bank that the charges add up, you will keep your finances organized.
