As most of us know, but many of us ignore, tracking our spending is critical to understanding where our money goes. It’s so easy to spend $5 cash on coffee, or ice cream or $20 for the doctor visit co-pay and not think much of it. However, tracking, especially our cash spending, is required to help us get a real number for our spending. When we know where we are spending, then we can categorize it and start comparing it to our budget. To help with the tracking effort, I found a great comparison of apps for tracking. Take a look and see what you like. I use mint and think it’s a great tool for the cost (free!). https://home3/lindali6/public_html.dailyworth.com/posts/the-10-best-spending-trackers
Happy tracking!
