How to use a check register
- Start with the balance your bank shows today.
- Write down every check, card purchase, transfer and fee as a payment.
- Write down money coming in as a deposit.
- The balance column shows what is really left after the entries you've made.
- Once a month, tick off the items on your bank statement — that's reconciling.
