Experts say it’s really easy to fall into the trap of thinking spending on big things is what gets us into trouble, when often it’s the little things that end up costing us more. So, here’s another plug for sticking to a budget—it’s so important to keep track of your day-to-day spending so you don’t live beyond your means. Your bank statement will reveal all—how much money goes into your account and how much goes out. You can then compare it with your budget to see where the trouble spots are, where you’re spending more than you think and areas where you can really save. The accountability of knowing you can’t outsmart your bank statement can ward off those little impulse purchases.
