I've spent a while trying to find if this feature already exists, but I cannot seem to find it.
It seems odd to me that a program which is called "Checkbook" would lack one of the most important features in an actual checkbook - the "BALANCE" field after each transaction.
I absolutely love Checkbook. I've tried switching to other programs but I always come back to Checkbook. The only reason I've thought about switching away was because the lack of the balance column after each transaction.
I don't think I'm the only one who doesn't always update their checkbook after each transcation. Sometimes I get lazy and wait a week or so before I update my checkbook. Sometimes I'll have a busy spending week and there will be lots of transactions and I'll forget to copy one from my bank statement down into the checkbook. When I'm finished I notice that my bank statement and my checkbook are off by <x> dollars. The easiest way to figure out where I went wrong is to look at the balance after each transaction (since my bank shows it) and notice where I went off.
It would be great to have the balance after each transcation be displayed as well. It must be super easy to add this
Also, since some people might not actually want this feature, it might be nice to have the ability to choose which columns are displayed?
