Bookkeeping – without a book.

February 6, 2007 By Frugal Babe

I finally decided to start keeping track of our business expenses on the computer instead of in a notebook the way I’ve done for the past four years.   It’s been a tough habit to change.   My husband bought me Microsoft Money, and he’s spent quite a bit of time teaching me how to use it.   I still don’t get a lot of it.   I’m so much more comfortable with my notebook and pen, but I guess I better get with the 21st century.   I know that it will make it easier in the long run (I’m actually not convinced of this right now, but I’m telling myself this so that I’ll keep working at it).   I’ve got most of our accounts set up in the program, but it takes me half an hour just to figure out how to get an account entered into the system, and the whole time I’m thinking about how I could have had the whole thing done 5 times over with my old-fashioned method.   Aaaaagggghhhhh!
