So, let's get it started. What you're going to want to write is DCAIDLER. So you got that? DC-AID-LUR. Now, just somehow memorize that. I don't care how you're going to memorize it, just memorize it, okay? I don't care how you're going to do it, just do it. So, why is that important? Well, I'm going to write it back up over here. DC-AID-LUR. And, because I'm going to write it here, we're going to write debit. D is for debit. The C is for credit. Debit, debit, credit. Now in accounting these are always always going to equal Debits going to equal the credit That's kind of small huh? That's kind of small We got to see that debit It's very important Deeeb Now in the accounting world, debits always going to equal the credit. Always, always, always, always, always. So now for the debit side, we've got the aid. We've got a, da, and then for the credit side, we've got ler. Now, DCAIDLUR. DCAIDLUR. On aid, we got assets, assets, and then we have draw, okay? Then we have, for the E, expenses. Alright, now for the credit side with LUR, we have liability, you got your equity, and you got your revenue. I know how you spell, huh? Revenue.
