If you find your self short on money and need extra, here is a simple exercise to help you. If you are a budget person, and you need to find money do the same exercise.
Track every single penny you spend for an entire month. And be detail oriented. Example don't write down gas for 38.45 if you really bought gas, a coffee, and a candy bar. YOU HAVE TO WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING.
At the end of the month total up what you spent. If you find you spend $25.00 on starbucks a week do you realize that you could save $1,300 a year just by making your own coffee?
