Computers Suck

So I've been battling financial woes the last few months. Short story, the biggest battle was won by yours truly this week. As long as I follow Ben Franklins advice, all things in moderation, then I should avoid further financial stress.

Post battle analysis. Can't blame anyone but myself for getting into debt. However, for the last couple of months have been particularly hard. Despite my careful and meticulous tracking of what I spend, I kept coming up short. Today, out of curiosity, I did a side by side comparison of my bank records vs my own spreadsheet. They didn't match up, my spreadsheet sat there smugly saying I had more money. Huh. Turns out the spreadsheet had a formula error so it was reporting the wrong balance. Lovely. I'm considering upgrading to a number 2 pencil. :/
