Tip: Avoid distractions — stay in the post.
- Tally, the trusty steed: This accounting software is your loyal companion, ready to record your financial transactions.

- A healthy dose of humor: Because let's be honest, sometimes accounting needs a little laughter to liven things up.

You've decided to play banker yourself, lending some cash to a friend or business associate. Here's how to record it in Tally:
