Write down when,where, and what you spent your money on. At theend of the month, tally it up into severalcategories. (Be as specific or broad as you want,fast food could fall to dining out andentertainment, or could be listed separately, yourcall) At the end of the month, I will bet youwill be very surprised to find out exactly howmuch of your take home pay you spend onunnecessary stuff in the $2 - $10 range.I did thisseveral years ago, and discovered that I wasspending over $200 a month on coffee, bottledwater, and snacks. Never realized that the $1.75a day on a Starbucks would add up quite thatseverly. - answered by cbmttek
