If your goal is to control your money and save more, here’s an easy way to start: track one expense. A lot of people hate to budget. They feel like tracking every dime spent is tedious and unhelpful. If that’s you… develop the habit of tracking just one spending category. Pick an expense that you believe may be a problem area for your budget, and keep track of spending in just that one category. Once you get spending in that category under control, start tracking the next expense that’s causing you to blow through your budget.
