How I did it: I categorized my budget in Quicken and tracked every dollar that I spent. I realized after a couple months that I was tracking my spending but not doing anything with that data. Now I check on how I'm spending in each category periodically.

I have it easy though. I usually don't end up spending all of my salary in a month. I often am checking my budget to see where I need to force myself to spend.
