So I've been helping with the financial end of things where I work for the last few months. And if you know me, you're shaking your head - I know, I did too! Me, someone who absolutely hated math in school. Who thinks accounting is for other, smarter people. But I think in a round-about way, it's actually helped me! I also really liked the accounting software program I was using. And all that got me to thinking the other day - wouldn't it be wonderful if I can keep all our personal financial stuff as organized as the work finances? I've been using a very archaic, outdated accounting software program at home for many years so I thought "what better way to get organized than to get new software". Armed with some gift cards for my local discount store, I went on Thursday and returned with the new purchase. Spent most of the day backing up the old, making sure I had everything I needed of the old on a disk (just in case) and installing the new software. Voila! It's almost too complicated right now! I really do like it & what it can do for us. Track investments! Track mortgage stuff! Gives me a calendar that shows spending on each day - wow! One thing off my list of things I really needed to do is now taken care of!
