Here’s how!

Record your expenses

Start by drawing a simple table – you can do this in a small notebook or on your phone.

→ Each time you buy something, write it down in your table.

Remember to record every expense, however small. Don’t forget to include the things you buy online too! Even the small purchases add up! 

Leave the Needs or Wants (N or W) column blank for now, we’ll show you how to use this on the next page. 

Draw this simple table:
