I intend to used this blog to keep up with my daily spending habits. I have a hard time not spending money even when I shouldn't. My credit cards are all over the limit and I am behind on the payments. I haven't done a "real" grocery trip in a couple of months...we have food, but not what we want. But yet I always find the money to get a bagel and coke on the way to work in the morning.
I need to make myself realize what I spend...and maybe putting it in writing will help me do that.

I have a LOT of trouble with overspending, it's a very hard habit to break. Something that helped me was to fill a binder with pages that are dated, and has categories like breakfast, lunch, dinner, and other, then a section for totals at the end of the day. Just try really hard to write down every cent that you spend..knowing exactly where your money goes seems to be a big help, then you can pick out where, if any, you can cut back on expenses.
