Tracking Expenses

Here is your homework. Keep track of where you have spent your money for the next week. Here is a simple way to do it – get an envelope, put receipts inside for what you spent. If you didn’t get a receipt, just write it on the outside of the envelope. You will also use your checkbook to help you track spending.

Log back in next week and you will learn the next steps in taking control of your finances.
