Track Decisions...
Not Just Dollars
If you're going to spend time reviewing your spending, it's more benficial to consider the influences upon your behavior than it is to account for every penny.
- What was your frame of mind?
- Was this the right time for the purchase?
- Was this impulsive spending?
- Could better planning have led to a better outcome?
Develop a Habit
of Self‑
Evaluation
SpendLight is a simple spending journal that helps you strengthen your spending habits. The deliberate act of reflection helps cut down on mindless spending. Often you'll reconsider a purchase if you know you'll have to record it.
Embrace a Weekly Feedback Loop
Even though most bills are paid monthly, discretionary spending is more naturally tracked on a weekly basis.
Mark your progress week by week to strengthen and speed up the feedback loop.
Handle Life's Surprises
Life often doesn't go according to plan. But that doesn't mean your spending goals are a lost cause.
Even if an unplanned life event breaks your budget, you still ought to determine whether you reacted wisely to the circumstances.
Let your personal values play into your overall assessment of your spending.
Add a Spending Buddy
When you record and rate your spending, an SMS or email invites your spending buddy to react with a rating of their own.
Use SpendLight to maintain accountability or just stay on the same page with your loved one.
