pretty straightforward...

If an asset begins on the debit side, and you increase funds, it stays debit. If you decrease funds, it becomes a credit.

If a liability begins on the credit side, and you increase funds, it stays as a credit. If you decrease funds, it becomes a debit.

add two sides separately

sub totals are called 'pin totals' or 'pencil footings'

write and circle number on the larger side - the dollar value of acct

sometimes debits end up as credits
