    i do a budget every pay day.

    It has assets, liabilities, expenses etc.
    Then i record my net worth each month.

    its an easy way to see how much you are saving over time. (shows savings history…)

    Having just moved countries, Its quite amazing how expensive it is to get all set up again.

    ONE TIP: (that i have now discovered)
    work for an employer who provides perks in the job.
    ie mobile phone, cable internet, company car etc.
    When your only major expenses are rent, power, & food, its simple!

    $40 for play/fun money. wow! thats pretty impressive. I can see why youd be spending a lot of time online!

    I aim to save 40% of my income. often its way more.

    My Current budget is: (all percentages of income)
    15.72 housing
    1.97 mobile phone
    1.57 morning coffee
    3.93 work lunches
    1.97 vehicle
    5.90 groceries
    0.69 power
    1.47 insurance
    0.43 home phone
    14.74 pub/entertainment
    8.84 shopping
    4.91 dining out

    Sure i could cut out the morning coffee, and reduce the entertainment $, but hey, im young single and like to party [:D]

    I hadnt actually converted it to % until now, quite interesting really.

    hey people,
    my idea is much like JapanScott’s. i went and bought one of those shitty money tins from a $2 shop and everyday when i came home from school any change(not notes) i would wack in the tin. it filled up within a couple of months and i was so suprised when i opened it and found there was over 400 bucks in there! all i would have done with that money is frit it away on little things, and now i had $400
