Balancing Money Family Puzzle URBAN A -- If you have more days than dollars left toward the end of the month, there's a good chance you need to practice money management. And the best way to manage money is to keep accurate records of how you spend each dollar, explains D. F. VVilken, University of Illinois Extension farm management specialist. Start now to keep records in an account book of all expenditures and receipts for 1968. Maintain running totals or total all items monthly to see if you are financially sound for the 30-day period. the state secretary and the fieldman who assist with service and promotion functions. County and district breeder groups also conduct local programs. Another efficient but more expensive bookkeeping method is ;a check accounting system available at some banks. Most systems have special features -- some more advanced and proven than others, Wilken notes. Before purchasing an electronic check accounting system from a lending institution, consider these four questions: 1. Is it simple? Some systems have built - in data-processing programs which are of little or no benefit in figuring end-of-month statements. Some systems are designed strictly for use in a farming operation. 2. What is the cost? Is the commercial system's cost worth the added benefits you'll re- ; ceive?'Many spouses are adept at bookkeeping and can keep accurate, but maybe not such elaborate records as a commercial system. 3. Is it flexible? Do you have to conform to the system or will the system conform toyour needs? Some electronic systems have flexible codes allowing, you to enter many sundry items whilp other systems allow for no code variations.
