At the moment I'm writing down every cent I spend. I've devided it into direct debits, monthly bills/ expenses, groceries, car/ petrol, clothes / misc and kids/ social.
I'm tracking everything. The thing is, I'm just breaking even with no money left to save.
How long did people track before it became second nature or do some track long term ? If so, did it affect your spending. Currently , I find its making me aware of what I spend/ where it's going but not helping me save !
I know I'm lucky to be breaking even, trying to clear a few debts too but my aim is to save if I can .
