Ah, Liz, your answer was the best for me. You see, technically, you could flip the script on my argument and say - explain to me your daily obsession of looking at your balances every day! As I said at the end of the rant - my 1 minute a day probably equates to your 30 minutes at the end of the month. But my only other argument would be that by doing it much more often - I only have to track 0, 1, or a couple of transaction - whereas someone at the end of the month may have up to 100 transactions to account for. I am a simple person — so keeping track of a few transactions is a lot easier that a month's full! Again — just my preference.
Thanks for the reply — it made me smile!

Simple, I have multiple bank accounts, and don't look at everything every day, because "I have other things to do". :D Liz _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
