The New, New.

Waaay back when, back when I was a toddler, we used to borrow from the banks. (Not me, mind you, I waited until I was at least a teenager before I made my first visit to what I called the "no" store....)

I've got a nice excel spreadsheet I can forward to you that will help you keep things organized, and once you enter most of the information, you only have to update the balance. Kind like Zillow for your bank account, only more excruciating.........
