Track your expenses. The cliche "its not how much you make but how much you spend" is apt for most people. I use a simple daily wasted money example. Go to work, stop for a coffee at Star*, buy a snack, at lunch buy something, grab a coffee at the mall.... before you know it you are spending $20.00 on frivolous items. Once you are aware of spending habits, it becomes easier to not spend. A mere $20.00 day is over $7000 year in unaccounted wastage. Makes for a nice yearly holiday! ! !
