Youre probably wondering how could I be scared of my checkbook register! What does this really mean? Well, if you avoid posting checks, debit withdrawals or balancing your checkbook at any and all costs because other things seem more important to you, then you may have a fear of your own checkbook. You really dont want to know what your balance is and youre scared that if you find out youll really know how much money you actually have. You know eventually youll need to find out but youre just not there yet, and you really dont know what approach you should use to get there. You may want to try some of the following ways to get you past your fear of looking at your checkbook register:
1) Set aside time when you can actually review your check register. Youll need time alone in preferably a quiet area of your home. By setting aside time to review you check register you should be calm, relaxed and prepared to take on this task. Make sure you set aside enough time so you do not feel as though youre rushed. You may want to set aside a least one hour for this.
2) In reviewing your check register, make sure you take a look at all of your entries carefully first! Be sure...
