I have decided that for one week I will post everything that I spend money on to make myself more aware of what I am spending money on and just how much I am spending. I consider myself to be a saver, always pay my bills on time and I don't really shop very often, however, it can never hurt to be more aware of your bank account. Try this on your own as well. Write down every last penny that leaves your wallet, or car change compartment or coat pocket. This week has been a busy traveling week with a few more expenses than usual because of my birthday and some relative's birthdays, so I will post everything for this week, and probably another week sometime next month to compare.
