Mac comes with screensharing built in. No need for a separate app. Some
linux distributions also include VNC apps by default, or they can easily
be installed.

You 'paid' when you 'tendered' the payment. (tender isn't just an offer
of payment, but includes acceptance/receipt, which has happened in this
case. It does not include cashing/depositing or otherwise processing a
negotiable instrument that was tendered as payment.)

The general rules in accounting practice are that transactions are
recognised in a business' books as income when they are earned and as
expenses when they are incurred unless affected by other business or
taxation legislation. This is the position for accrual accounting.

In the United States, yes. If you owe someone a debt and send them a

Thank you! I feel validated for doing it the same way! I, too, think that
doing it differently would lead to confusion.
However, when paying invoices, I use the date I paid the invoice; if I were
sending invoices, I'd use the date I send them.

That's not the difference. I understand you are using the credit card as
a "30 day net" account with each vendor (I also do that) but for
accounting purposes it's not the same as if each vendor were giving you
a 30 day net invoice (and the bank just bundling these for a single

I 'unpost' the invoices and edit for a new line containing 'tip' and
post that to a different income account (cuz I like to count my tips)
re-post the invoice, and pay it.
It bothered me too until I asked around and then I got over it.

1st, that is not the difference between accrual basis accounting vs cash basis.
However, for your personal books if you want to use the bank dates it doesn't
really matter. Legally, once you send the payment whether direct debit or

list from a bank and to accept their "Posted Dates." When I perform the

I always put the date the transaction took place, both for my personal
accounts and when I was working in accounts.
Same went for invoices, credits etc., the date on the document was the date
that was input.
To my mind, to do otherwise would do nothing but lead to confusion.
