My LSW and I felt there was something strangely off about the amount of money in our checkbook register. We NEVER reconcile it like the bank says is a "VERY GOOD IDEA", but even a banker told me that she never does it. In 44 years of marriage, we only were overdrawn twice and had to go to the bank once to have them help with a money error. We were smug as two bugs---as "they" say.
We were sure that there was more money there than we showed but couldn't prove it, so I got the last 9 months of statements, and we did the unthinkable---we reconciled (added up all the deposits, checked off all the checks and transfers in and out and did MATH!!!).
I had had a spell of illness with surgery and the LSW had to totally be in charge of everything. Due to all that stress, she somehow didn't write in a cash deposit and a check---The bank noted these inclusions, but we missed them and so...................there was a bit over $2000 extra. YEAH!!!
We actually found these moneys and did it all without shouting or any axe murders, which, I understand is the current state of affairs with money stress. Good for us and thank GOD it was an error to our good rather than the other way.
