> And when looking back over transactions at the end of the month - the maps are dang handy for jogging my memory...

Whenever I get an email from ING about a transaction or deposit (one that isn't totally obvious) I do this:

  Click "Forward".
  Delete all text/images.
  Write a few words about the purchase or deposit.
  And send it to myself.

That way I can look back in Gmail at any time and know EXACTLY what I spent that money on. This is helpful because sometimes knowing WHERE I spent money doesn't tell me anything about I actually purchased.

For example, I have a Debit Card Purchase of $10 at Farhad Monadjeem. What in the HECK is that???? Oh, that's actually the car wash at Mobil; the owner's name I suppose. This system is also great for online purchases, so I don't have to login to various websites to see what item(s) I purchased; it's all in my email.

Easy and extremely effective!
