Watch Where The Money Goes

Sometimes I look at my bank account and I wonder where all the money is going. I know all the big things I pay for but I seldom think about all the little things I spend money on. I was surprised to find out just how much money this really was. Like little drips of water leaking from a faucet these tiny amounts add up over time to hundreds or even thousands of dollars over time. I think the most detrimental things for me are eating out at restaurants, impulse grocery store purchases, online shopping and poorly planned vacations. Take a look at what you buy every month and make a list and you will see what you really needed to buy and what was an impulse or luxury buy.
