January 15, 2004: Expense, Food - Coke: -$ 1.25 Expense, Food â Pepsi: -$ 1.08 Expense, Food â Beer: -$ 2.50 Expense, Food â Mexican Food: -$ 5.05 Total Expenses: -$ 9.88 I did a horrible job of keeping up with expenses today. I must get the receipt and keep track of everything. I must write every expense down right on the spot. I couldn't locate the expenses for my Mexican food and I had to guess it. Also, I gave the mexican food shop owner a $1 coin for thinking that it was $0.25. I need to be more aleart and persistent in managing my expenses. The beer and Mexican food were a splurge, an unwanted expense that I should've kept out. Kept completely out. I must have been disciplined. Today's expenses should have been less than $5. I splurges for fuking slaves. Must resist in the future..

NOT GOOD !!! I must update it everyday. Keeping up with all and every one of your expenses has to be the hardest thing EVER. I still got a long ways to go. I must write everything down then and there when I spend it, and for this I must keep an index card in my pocket.
