I have read through blogs and videos about saving. And the first advice they give is list down or use an app to track your expenses to see where your money goes.
I dont track my expenses but I feel these is where they go:
1. Coffee and tea
2. Medicines
3. Miscellaneous - Even small expenses like a snack, tricycle fare accumulates and will be substantial
I am curious to know where they actually go. Perhaps I will list them down next year just for fun.
What is your biggest expense?

I'm glad my hubby pitch in on that so it frees up some money on that category for me.

I’ve tried those apps too it is exciting tonuae during the first few months since you can really track your money where they ho but when you got used to it you might lose your interest in continuing it since you will get familiarize with how your money moves. l realize that my money circulates around transpo to and from work and food then the rest goes to utilities like internet cellphone electricity and groceries then the rent.

@yoalldudes I’ve tried too many apps already. There were even those that are animated already to make your recording interesting and not boring but still I got bored over time having the same expenses again and again.

What is this app you are using. That's nice at least you have tried it.
Yes eventually it gets boring.

Usually the foods get the large expenses followed by medicines and utilities like water, electricity and telephone or communication expenses.

That goes to show you are healthy because you have less medical expense which is good.
