Track One Category
Beginner
Why This Matters
💡 Budgets fail when reality doesn’t match assumptions. Tracking one category teaches awareness without burnout.
What To Do (7 days)
Use the table below to log every purchase in your chosen category.
1. Pick ONE category
Examples:
- Groceries
- Eating out
- Gas
- Coffee
2. Track every purchase
For one week, record in the table:
- What you bought
- How much it cost
✅ Tip: Small habits lead to big awareness. Update the table daily.
Reflection
At the end of the week, ask:
- Was this higher or lower than expected?
- Were there any impulse purchases?
No judgment — just observation.
