Quick Question on keeping a spend diary..

Options
I plan to do a spending diary for a month but do I start at the point I get paid(25th) or 1st of the month to last day of a set month?
Or doesn't it matter!

Cheers

  • I'm certainly no expert but i would go from when you get paid. its the little payday treats that sometimes blow your budget that u forget about.
    Good luck.
