As a student, I always spent my allowance without keeping track on it and I always find myself surprised that I have little or no money left that I can spent for the intended duration of that allowance but that's in the past. I am more conscious now but not to the point where I kept track all my of spending rather allocate for savings that I might use in the future to buy something that I want or need while the rest I spent on whatever I want. Now that I'm into cryptocurrency more so in BTC then some part of it goes to investing or some sort like lending and etc.
...try to follow a 3:2:1 methadology or similar (also known as a 50:30:20)) - I'm quite a minimalist financially though to a comfortable extent.
It's my first time to have heard of this methodology or I might have heard it in the past but can't remember but either way I might as well try it. It seems simple and effective.
