With everything financial that’s automated and paperless today, a lot of people have gotten out of the habit of reading their financial statements. You might assume you have a good idea of the balance in your current or savings account but some stuff can pop up unexpectedly when you finally check. A lot of people log onto their online banking and check the balance itself, but do you really check what’s coming in and out on a regular basis. Make sure you check your statements each month when they come through, and flag anything you don’t recognize to your bank.
This also gives you a good chance to assess if you’re spending more than you’re earning, and budget accordingly.
