Yes, for today only, being mathematically challenged is a GOOD thing!
In trying to balance the checkbook (I do this every 3-6 months, depending on my mathematical procrastination level), which by the way has taken me all of 4 hours, I ended up with almost $200 more than I thought I had. Oh yea. It’s a good thing.
Unless, of course, I did something really wrong just recently, in which case I will balance the checkbook in a more timely fashion (say within a day or two of this statement? LOL) so we’re not completely goobered when The Man returns.
Aah. I feel like I should go shopping now, you know? Having more than I thought I had, I can justify the expense as “Hey, it was invisible money anyway, right? Now I have something tangible to show for it!”
I am such a girl.

Buy a little sumthin with it 😛
YOU ARE SO BAD!!!
Just kidding, I used to do the exact same thing ALL the time and always had invisible money just when I “needed” it (as in, needed some new shoes or other girly stuff). Now I try to be “responsible” and use MS Money and online banking (much better for procrastinators!) and never seem to have invisible money any more. Damn.
I am guilty. I shopped. The good news is, I filled my cart at victoria’s secret with pretty things. The bad news is, my cart total exceeded my invisible balance, so I empted all but one teenie tiny litte thing.
Beth, I use MS Money TOO! See? Without MS Money, I wouldn’t even know I had any invisible cash! So all you need to do is follow these steps and you, too, can have your invisible cashflow back!
1. Grow fingernails to length that makes calculator a complete pain to use.
2. Continue to procrastinate for months.
3. Know that your fingernails are going to result in incorrect output, so worry frequently when checkbook balance gets low.
4. Balance using MS Word.
See? You can do it!! 😆
