[quote=Anonymous]I track every single thing I buy, even the $1 I spend at a parking meter and the $1 I give the homeless guy on the corner. I think it's interesting and helpful to see where the money goes. Once I know where it's going, I can decide where (or if) to make changes. I label the charges by categories like Food-Home vs. Food-Takeout, Alcohol-Out, Fitness, Beauty, Household, etc. When I need to cut back, I try to cook more at home and get less takeout, though I LOVE takeout. I'll cut back on wine. (my two big expenses, lol.) We mostly use the library instead of buying books. I've stuck with a cheaper gym (golds) vs. joining crossfit or a yoga studio. I sometimes use the YMCA's kids' club vs. getting a more expensive babysitter on a Friday night. [/quote]
