[quote=Anonymous]I have been you. What I did was spend a couple weeks tracking every single purchase I made. I used to spend a lot of money almost without realizing it. Drinking the free office coffee and bringing lunch from home (leftovers) for me and DH = $15-20/day/person not spent = $150-200/week = $600-800/month. Obviously, there are slight food increases at the grocery store, but for me, it really was a matter of planning meals and sticking to them. And not going to CVS and buying random crap. And not spending a zillion dollars a month on Kindle books. In much the same way that keeping a food journal, even if you show it to no one, will make you very conscious of your eating habits, tracking your expenses will make you realize how much money you're probably blowing on things you do not need. For me, it was cutting the little daily expenses like coffee and lunch out that added up, much more so than getting rid of cable or gym memberships.[/quote]
