General Accounting

Okay. I've got to figure out where we stand.

Our total is less than it has been lately, but that's because I let my sister borrow money. So what I'm going to start doing (as a morale booster) is add up what we have (i.e., what's in our savings right now) first, then do a total with Accounts Receivable. That's what businesses do, I think. Accounts Receivable let a person know if the bank's cash flow is positive- a company can have $10 million in assets, owe $12 million in debts, and look like it's going under. But if it's Accounts Receivable is near $50 million, it's probably pretty healthy.

Accounts Receivable will only be the amounts of money that I'm 95% sure I'm getting or will get back- it will not include purely speculative amounts of money in the future.

Current Savings: $18,208.10

Loan from sister #1 - $160.00 paid on September 26th
Loan from sister #2 - $130.00 paid in late October
Check from Boss - $255.00 paid in next few weeks

AR value = $545.00

Total savings: $18,753.10
