Before I spent on anything I remembered how much I had on me. I bought a few things: snacks, e-money card for tickets. and many others I couldn't remember. I was wondering how much I had it left,so, I checked. Alas! What did I spend my money on?
Jotting it down, I knew where it went.
Did you ever wonder where your
bucks had gone?

that happened to me, too, recently. i thought what i bought would only be about 500 to 600 pesos. i was shocked when the total on the cash register was almost 800 so i took out all the money i had and was left with just coins! hahaha!

@LadyDuck, there is no problem in your case for people abroad purchase all in a credit card, in Asian countries only few are holders of a credit card, so usually money in cash is spent during shopping. I have two credit cards but I surrendered the other one owned by Union Bank. I was afraid of their bank error again.

It's difficult to spend a hard earned money without a budget. We always have our budget and we spend our money within the budget.

I never spend more than I earn but I don't keep tracks on the spending.

You'd better write it down so that you will know where the money's gone to.

I always write a list before paying to know how much.

That's good I think. I get lazy to make a list.

I'm usually good with money. When I've been on a really tight budget, I've written down every penny that was spent. When talking for family, I said we couldn't afford to buy a car at the moment. My other half said we could if I stopped spoiling our children and grandchildren! It's not true!
I do sometimes wonder what I've spent money on but I rarely over-spend.

I always know where my money goes but sometimes I am in shock at how much was spent.

Yes sometimes I forget where I had spend the money. It creates tension as I couldn't remember.
