Habit #2: Food Budgeting

Creating a budget and tracking your spending can be a daunting task. I recommend that people start with just their food budget for one or two months, before they start tracking everything. I pick food as the first budgeting category because it is a large expense that usually includes a lot of mindless spending. With a little focus and planning, most people can reduce their food budget a significant amount and create a little wiggle room in their budget right away.
