People tend to be optimistic when they round up. I had several people working for me that got into a negative balance because they "believed" that they had put far more money away. When things got tight right before payday, they would write a check based on what they "thought" was in their account. All that rounding up adds up, but it takes time. Say they wrote a check for $20, and their account only had $19.50. Add in the bounced check fee and rounding does not save time or money. Knowing what you have to the penny is the key.
