Exactly. The credit card creates just one bank transaction on one day even though it might actually represent 10 or 20 or 50 or more actual transactions. If I had to record every transaction that we put on our credit card individually in our checkbook register, that would make the whole process way more complicated because we use our credit cards constantly. Our typical monthly charges are upwards of $3,000.
