Check My Bank Account

The internet is filled with about a bajillion lists of "Things I Learned in my 20s". I've read many of them, but only one observations really stuck: "Making a budget that you never look at and not having a budget at all are the same thing."

While I am not great at even making budgets, I have felt the sting of ignoring the status of my bank account. I always figure, "I couldn't have spent that much this month/ week/ afternoon" and I am very frequently wrong. In an age where you can access bank statements in real time, as opposed to being sent one once a month, there's really no excuse for this.
