Interesting how we all differ in methods. My husband uses almost all cash. I pretty much go all digital. I rarely use cash, and don’t like pulling out my wallet in lines where everyone can have a peek at what’s in there. I can also keep track of my spending better by seeing it all on my digital platforms (I check them daily), but I can never seem to remember what I spent my cash on in any given day! And when I ask my husband what he spent his hard earned cash on, I usually get a blank stare before he goes to the car and brings back a tangle of crumpled up receipts dated anywhere from two years ago to today!

a few decades ago, after retirement (3rd time) my husband and I kept a quicken account and entered EVERY penny spent so we could see where it all went. The joke was that we even entered a dime found on the sidewalk for the credit column. It has been brilliant for us but means we always ask for a receipt so we can put the amount in the app. It works for us!
