Happy New Year out there! I hope you’ve had a fun holiday and a restorative break from the routine.
To kick off the beginning of 2010, I’m writing about recording where our money goes today at Buttoned Up in a post called Why Tracking Spending is Good For You.
New projects — like starting a system of writing down expenses — can be more exciting when paired with a fresh calendar.
In the article, I’ve included links to my budget sheets which you can print out in an instant, as well as recommendations for budgeting software and online resources.
Do you record your day-to-day expenses? If so, how?

Yes, I’ll be tracking my spending again very careful after a rather outlandish Christmas! I have a little notebook that I keep in my purse. I keep the budget targets for each main spending categories and TRY to write down everything after we spend. This month, I definitely need to get back into the habit!

Amy: I like the idea of keeping a notebook in your purse, right where the money is going out.
