How to Track Your Money in 10 Minutes a Day

Many people don’t struggle because they earn too little — they struggle because they don’t know where their money goes. Tracking your money doesn’t require apps, spreadsheets, or stress. Just a few minutes a day is enough to change everything.

5 Simple Steps to Track Your Money:

  1. Choose one tool — a notebook, notes app, or simple spreadsheet. Keep it easy.
  2. Write everything down — food, transport, online buys, even small expenses.
  3. Track daily, not weekly — memory lies, numbers don’t.
  4. Group expenses — needs, wants, savings. Patterns will appear fast.
  5. Review once a week — ask: “What surprised me the most?”

👉 You don’t control the money you don’t track — awareness is the first win.
