With the beginning of the year 2009, I do record my spendings everyday with my computer. The reason is as follows: 1. I know how much I spend in a day, week, month, so that I can manage my budget;2. I know where my money should go;3. I can try my best to save my money;4. I just record the things we bought, so that my husband cannot denied them. So how about you? Do you record it or just let it go?Happy mylotting!

I think it is a good idea to write down how you spend your money, and I often decide to do the same thing, but the truth is I am not very good at it. I have the best intentions, but after a while I usually forget about it. I have only managed to do it once. About half a year ago my fiance and I kept every receipt for one month, so that we could find out how the money was spent. It was a pretty shocking experience and it made us realize how much money we spend on fastfood, candy, soda and other "healthy" things and we immediately decided to change our habits.

Unfortunately, I don't. Although whatever I spend on, I have it in my mind. And I make sure that I don't go over budget.

i try to do it everyday, but there are days i forget to jot it down. because i am really trying my best to save and know where my money is being spent. before, if i do not jot down my expenses, i will wonder "where did my money go?" all that hard earned money's gone after a few days and i wonder how it happened haha so i started jotting down my expenses so that i can track my spending and manage it. i also jot down my payables (rent, phone bills, water & electric bills, so i can budget the remaining and last until the next payday =)

many same as you, this one is same too.several yeas ago, i began my record.but after i pregnant i stopped, for i couldn't use computer.then from this year, i began again. there is a website for recording spending of your life,now everyday i will record my spending.and in this website, i can set my budget, and can set who spent the money,eg, this is spent by me, that is by my husband, and some is for my son, the others for our family.then in the end of month, i can see what part should be pay more attention next month.this website is very good.
