Tracking Your Spending

Do you know how much you spent on groceries last month? How about on eating out, or entertainment, or gas?

Tracking your spending is so important if you want to eliminate the stress in your finances.

It’s a great way to develop self-discipline and practice faithful management. And it gets easier the more you do it.

Proverbs 21 says, The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

So slow down. Ask for a receipt when you check out at the grocery store. Keep a notebook in your car or download a budgeting app on your phone. Know what you are spending so you are not flying blind into a financial disaster.
