In the spirit of transparency, accountability and community, I have been sharing my spending tracking on social media for the last year or so. I call it the #SpendingTrackingChallenge.

I believe in the importance of knowing where your money is going, so that you can make intentional decisions and work toward your goals.

Since I am taking a break from social media, I thought I would try sharing my tracking here in case anyone is following.

As we are entering the final week of the month, I still had a healthy grocery budget left. So, for our Sunday Money Date this week, my partner and I went to Trader Joe’s and picked out a bunch of fun items. Our habit of budgeting and tracking our spending allows us these opportunities. Since we know we are within our planned spending for the month, there is no guilt or worry involved.

To track your own spending, use my spending tracking template available here. (Just remember to make a copy first.)

I would love to hear about your experiences with tracking your spending!
