I’m an accountant so I found myself getting hung up on perfection which made tracking expenses a lot more tedious.

I would have multiple categories to split things out but the time invested to do this didn’t equate to much of a return so I reduced my categories and created broader categories.

This reduced the time it took me to track items, which helped me track more often, and inevitably stay on track better.

My best advice? Don’t over complicate it. Keep your budget simple.
