My Bookkeeping Stinks!

I promised myself in January that I would start keeping track of tax stuff and keep on top if so I didn’t have to do everything at once when tax season comes along. In years past, come January I would just gather everything form the previous year and compile it, but I want to have all that done ahead of time. I also wanted to keep track of  my blog expenses on a monthly basis. Monies coming in and going out.

Adobe has some great products out there to help combine PDF files and search PDF files. There are some programs that can even track changes. It’s amazing what programs are out there, but I find all of that so confusing! I really need to take a class or something.

So anyway, I started out okay, I made a spreadsheet and staring keeping track of all of our bills and purchases. I think I got to the beginning of March and kinda gave up. I wish I hadn’t but life gets in the way sometimes. I guess I’ll just go crazy around tax season and do all that work then. I do need to get on top of my blog stuff, though.

Does anyone have any tried and true ways they keep on top of this stuff? What programs do you use? I could really use some advice!
