following€“²:

(A) WHAT YOU OWN -ù help plan,¶¤ divided½to four
categories:

(1) CASH ACCOUNTS - Fanatical planners likeº keep track£
even‰ money‰y keep½ cash–m (ie money½r
wallet’ purse, a piggy bank, a dresser drawer etc.).
If wantº trackr cash would develop¯’
more“s–‰ cash maintain. Otherwise,¹

(2) CHECKING ACCOUNTS - Most people maintainœing
accounts½ either banks, savings & loans,’ evenš
their stock brokers. Create¯€“– each
checking“ wishº keep track£.

(3) SAVINGS ACCOUNTS - Create¯£‰se“s– each
savings“ wishº manage.

(4) ASSET ACCOUNTS -õ¤»ything own—¤ not
cash,œing,’ savings“s. Some EXAMPLES would
ber furniture, computer, automobile(s), stock,
house,»tique collection etc.


(B) WHAT YOU OWE -õ¤ divided½to two‚ies:


(1) CREDIT CARD ACCOUNTS -Ψ a choice here. Ύ
set up a€“– each£r… cards
and keep track£‰½dividual charges,…s,
payments etc.Ä card chargesŒ›edŠ
recordedº‰ appropriate expense (i.e. clothing,

YouŽ elect½stead notº set up a€“–
each… card.Ύ choose‰ much simpler route
of notªing… card charges as‰yŒ made.
Your periodic paymentsº‰… card companies
would beªed entirely as» expense.È choice¤
yours.

(2) LIABILITY ACCOUNTS -Èse“sŒ–»ything

(C) YOUR INCOME -Î should keep track£ every type£½come

bank“, moneyŽ earn from deep sea excavations’
occasional bullfights, etc.

(D) YOUR EXPENSES - Unfortunately,¶ probably ber
most lengthy list. ß¹¤»y consolation,¹s‰ same

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
