Ways to log my spending! Help!

6 Posts
Hiya guys, i've decided enough is enough! I need to take control of my money. I have credit card debt that is mounting approx 5k and I need to take account of my spending and start paying more than the minimum amount.
Ok...A money diary is a good idea, Can anyone give me some advice. Is it as simple as a little book and noting everything down to see where cut backs should be made?
Does anyone have anything that they have done on excel that works that they can share?
I need to start, I Just don't know which is the best way.

A spending diary is part of the solution. But for us all to help more we need to see a list of all your monthly/weekly income and your outgoings to help including the balances and APRs of all the credit cards. If you are overdrawn we need your current balance.
