Thanks for sharing.

I agree especially with tracking expenses. Many people don't realize how much money they spend until they start writing everything down.

Which of these three has helped you the most personally?

The first one. It helps me not to spend more than I earn, monitor money that goes out from me and what I want to use it for.

I'm done with may. Now tracking expenses for this month. I hope you're doing the same. It helps.

That's a solid habit.

I won't lie, many people underestimate how powerful tracking expenses can be until they actually try it. Sometimes the small daily spending is what eats up the biggest part of our money.

I'm still working on improving mine too.

What's the biggest unnecessary expense you've discovered since you started tracking your spending?

Transportation and feeding. But after tracking it and making proper adjustment,I have been able to reduce the expenses. In Tp aspect, I pay when going then trek while coming back. Except in a situation that seriously demands me to pay to and fro.
