If you are anything like me, your mailbox and email in box are filled with statements every month.
They arrive for credit cards, banks, investments, utilities, service providers, and more.
If you want to stay on top of them, it is easily a multi-hour a week job to review charges, reconcile bank statements, examine quarterly returns, and track utility usage. It all takes time, focus, and patience.
Some of us were born to enjoy this type of work. My husband, who is a CPA, might not say he fully enjoys it, but he is comfortable with it and knows what to look for.
However, as we get older, even the most detailed oriented of us may experience challenges.
