It’s true, most of the Americans are have credit card debt. In a way it’s become part of the culture, but I guess that if you wouldn’t use it, you would be more aware of your expenses. Using cash to pay for things for example, will definetly show you where the money go!

I found that if I kept my records on a computer I didn’t look at/update them that often. So now, at the beginning of every month I start a new envelope. Every time I spend money, I put the receipt in the envelope and on the outside of the envelope I keep a running tally of how much I’ve spent that month in various categories.

The MoneyMans idea is good – I also like a whiteboard with details written on – then it’s clear to see all the time. I agree… on a computer you can choose not to look!

I use YNAB, which is basically a budgeting software. Here’s my review, though the review is a couple of years old. YNAB has improved even more since then, IMO. http://beingfrugal.net/2007/12/28/review-y-nab/

Now that we are at the beginning of the new year, i need to recheck our budget, to see if any category is out of wack. This is only possible if you track spending.
Whenever I tell people about how we paid stuff off, they look at me like I am some kind of possessed accountant or something. So far from the truth. ZEven though we have been tracking for a while, we are still surprised by charges that ocme through that we have to sit back and say, what on earth was that for.
Okay, i just let it slip that we still use credit cards. Shoot.
