Every time you spend money write it down. Easier to keep track of your expenses if you see them on paper.
Once you know that amount and what you're using it on, you can make informed decisions as to where you can reduce your spending in order to save that money instead.

yes, a budget that you put down on paper/spreadsheet will probably show you some expenses you never really thought of, and its a good idea to add EVERYTHING, even small monthly expenses like $8/month for netflix should be on there, if you dont account for that stuff you're only hurting yourself

Things like netflix and such are the stuff that people should be getting rid of. Paying for TV isn't needed at all as you can stream or download pretty much everything you want from alternative sources. Getting rid of non essentials even if it's just a little a month all adds up and this a is a great way to save.
Well as football fan, I couldnt really enjoy the football match by streaming line or downloading the whole match, because I like watch the live match on TV. Sometimes the saving tips cant working to people especially when it comes to their hobby.

yeah man you should save money but not live a bad lifestyle just to save money, bro. I live a happy life and spend less by keeping my expenses together and calculate them. Never thought I will ever use maths in my life, but it has helped me lots Tongue I remember having an argument with somebody that the best way to save money is earning more money Wink
