May is about Money

Well if April was about taxes, then May is about money. Only because after the task of completing these taxes, it dawned on me that I have no idea where my money goes! How is it that you can make "x" amount of dollars and not have a clue where the hell it went?

This is a sentiment shared by friends around me - and because of this, I thought it would be interesting to do an experiment: During the entire month of May I am going to track every penny I spend (other than regular bills, mortgage, etc.) so I can try to find out where my "spending" money goes and hopefully keep a little more with me ;)

I'll document everything paid with cash; debit or credit card and total up every week into categories.

Wish me luck! I'll let you know what I find!
