the next best thing is to learn how to read your monthly bank
statement and reconcile it against your checkbook and savings
passbook.
The first step is in simply understanding what each section

No one gets excused from this chore, no matter how rich or
how poor you are. Check out this step by step guide to learn
how to balance your checkbook on a monthly basis.
