[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of my expenses are static so I just had to record them over a couple of months to get the bulk of my expenses into my budget correctly (car, mortgage, preschool, utilities, commuting,etc). I allocate $150 a week on groceries. I organized everything in an excel spreadsheet, but could've done it on a piece of paper. Every two weeks I take $200 for my miscellaneous expenses (things that aren't in my budget - coffee, house stuff, lunch with a friend, babysitter). This is how I track what I spend and keep my impulse purchases at bay while building my savings. This is my low tech approach. [/quote] Should note - the $200 is in cash. Everything else that is a specific item in my budget is charged or automatic pay. [/quote]
