Track small spending for one week
You can't change what you don't notice.
Most people underestimate their small purchases. Writing everything down for just one week is often eye-opening, and it shows which swaps would matter most for you.
How
- Write down every purchase under $20 for seven days
- Group them: food and drink, shopping, apps, transport, other
- Pick the one or two categories that surprised you
- Choose a swap for each and try it for a month
