Write down every dollar you spend in a some kind of little notebook or day planner you can carry with you. Write down EVERYTHING you spend and everything you do. This way at the end of the week/ month/ year you KNOW where EVERY penny went and what you did with your time. This makes it easier to set goals (which you should always have) , create a budget (which you should also have), and make realistic adjustments to your spending and living habits. If its all on paper you can't fool yourself.
