Shel, I find Quicken to be a good way to track expenses. I never used to write anything down until Matt made me put it on my laptop a few months ago. It also makes pie charts of where you're spending, as well.<br /><br />Elizabeth, good to know I am not alone in my severe cutbacks. I look at it this way- $25/week. :-)Mrs. Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16852090689887387179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674683493248044889.post-18025993242499349312010-03-02T20:18:11.617-05:002010-03-02T20:18:11.617-05:00It's funny you chose to post on this topic bec...It's funny you chose to post on this topic because I, too, have been focusing greatly on financial issues the past couple days. I just spent this past Saturday night figuring out our family budget - what a fun way to spend Saturday night, right? But, I also realized that we could only allow $100 of "fun money" per month - so we can hold each other accountable! Whenever you're tempted...call me and I'll be there to talk to you out of it! :) :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12198440366400094075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5674683493248044889.post-37096193851535060822010-03-02T17:30:51.990-05:002010-03-02T17:30:51.990-05:00you can do it! you can do it!

I'm trying to do better, too, but I find that I set myself a "fun money" budget and then never actually keep track. Do you/the book have a good tip for keeping track of your spending? Also...I bargain with myself and say, "I'll spend extra this month but will take it out for next month." YEAH.
