record all expenses for one month

I’m not having much luck keeping up with my expenses. As my boyfriend is helping to support me during my Honours year this year, it’s been confusing and difficult to keep up with what money is going where. I’m half thinking about giving up on this goal. I seem to be doing okay at the moment without keeping track.

After a pretty disastrous start to the month I let this goal go by the way side… I’m planning on picking it up again in December.

I’m planning to record all of my income and expenses for November, at which point I’ll consider this goal to be complete. I have a thin journal book with columns for description, category, income, and expense.
