Mondays Financial Challenge: Balancing Act
June 30, 2008
Today’s mission (should you choose to accept it) is to preform a balancing act.
This mission is a simple one, that many of us tend to avoid. It’s time to balance your checkbook. Trust me, I know how easy it is to get things out of balance, especially if you regularly use your debit card. So, to give some support to your balancing act, start by visiting you bank online. Print a copy of your recent transactions, and work from that. Estimate the amounts of anything not showing up.
Set a timer for 15 minutes and have a go at it. It doesn’t have to be perfect.

Good morning ladies and gents! It’s Monday again, and that means it’s time for another financial challenge!
This week’s mission (should you choose to accept it) is: The Gypsy Switch
The gypsy switch is best defined as a sleight of hand trick: You swap something of great value (say, a $100 bill) with something of lesser value (like a $20 bill).
So flex your muscles and get your magician’s hat ready, because we’re going to take the gypsy switch on the road.
