Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Every day I enter all my spending, to the penny, into an Excel spreadsheet. There I have columns for Date, Category, Sub-Category, Amount, exactly what I bought and how I paid for it.
Then I balance what I entered in Excel with my bank account balance, CC balance, and my wallet contents. At the end of the month, I add up the categories and spending for the month. I like my method of tracking spending and I am retired, so I have plenty of time to do it. It only takes maybe five minutes each day, if that. I look forward to doing this every day because it's my kind of fun.
You need to get out more < couldn't resist >
I wonder if I would have the consistency to do this every day, or let it slide until it became unmanageable.
