Would you like to do some budgeting??

Simple budgeting Tips


• Start by identifying your spending habits. This will enable you to track your spending each month and begin to budget.

• Keep a spending diary. Record the date, item and amount of every purchase you make. This lets you pinpoint areas where you're spending more than you want, such as on impulse items or expensive restaurants.

• Commit to a plan that will help you curb your spending and produce positive results.

Good luck!

This is what I did and I have had success most of the time, but there are still times where I fall off of that bandwagon.

Did you do anything different that you would like to share??

Great tips. I think the hardest is being committed to spending less.

Another way to keep spending down is to make a list. Whether its clothes, groceries, or supplies...make a list and stick to it. You can always add a couple spots at the bottom of the list for something you forgot to put on there but try to stick to only whats on your paper.

I'm also trying to conserve on gas by making a weekly list of where I need to go for errands and combining as many as possible.
