Keep track of what you spend

CFCCU Money Management Tip of the Day:

Most people don’t track what they spend and may not realize when expenses add up to more than their budget can handle.

To keep track of what you spend, try putting what you think you should spend for the month on transportation, food, entertainment, etc., into envelopes.

This will help you avoid buying things you don’t need, and what’s left should go into saving.
