Kimberly is feeling overloaded and busy.

track everything I spend for a week
Can't use a computer on this one... 2 years ago

I’ve tried this one a few times, and I generally get through about three days before I completely forget about it!

I think the secret is just going to be hanging a pen and paper somewhere I will see it, and writing things down by hand. I’ve tried using a spreadsheet, but when I close the program I tend to just forget to go back with my next update.

I know just what I bring in, but I need to figure out where the “leaks” are in my budget. I am headed in the right direction with my financial planning, but I could move faster on some of my other financial goals by trimming the fat.

I’m attempting to track what i spend for a whole year.. and i know it can be easy to forget sometimes. Especially if you don’t update the spreadsheet for a day or two.

Its a lot easier if you can get into the habit of asking for a receipt for everything and popping it away in your purse/bag. That way you already have a written record, and you can track back to what you’ve spent if you forget! =)
