I'm with the above commenter. I took it one step further: I tracked daily for three months and plugged it all into Excel. Now I have three spreadsheets running: a weekly and two monthlies. Oh my, I just read this and realized I'm a total geek :) I haven't given up anything for Lent. I have given up so much already this past year, and I'll give up more if I have to, to get out of debt :) Good luck! Great decision!

I eat too much of it. Have you tried tracking everything you spend money on? I carry a small notebook and track everything. At the end of the month you total it all up and realize there are even more costs you can cut. I gave up candy. I eat too much of it. Have you tried tracking everything you spend money on?
