Why this matters

Why bother?

Fraud detection, subscription creep, overspending — all caught early by a 5-minute weekly glance. People who check weekly save measurably more.

How often

Weekly is the sweet spot. Daily is anxious. Monthly is too late.

Best time: Sunday evening, plan the week ahead.

Pro tip

Sort transactions by amount — weird big charges jump out immediately.

Common mistake

Only checking the balance, not the transactions list.

What happens if you skip

Surprise overdrafts and subscriptions you forgot existed.
