Preparing bank reconciliation

Do you really expect an answer with so little info? The more you put into a question the better we can answer.

Could really use some more info, here is some off the cuff answers

1. take your starting balance, add all your deposits, take away the checks you wrote and match your balance ?

2. something my wife knows nothing about,

3. if you have checks you can't be out of money

Hope you did not take my humor out of context, but there are books wrote on just that subject,
