I had no financial plan 2 years ago. I didn't really know how much money I was making or spending and I didn't have any financial direction. I subbed here, and started reading stuff and learning about it. After a long time of slow steps I finally spent a few minutes every day in January to track how much money i spent and how much I earned. I ended up with a surplus of over $800 and I put $600 into savings right away. This might not be a lot by some accounts but compared to 2 years ago with no plan I am so excited!
I think I probably spent a total of 3 hours of my time over the course of the month tracking my money. Now I have 600 in savings that definitely would not have been there had I not done the work. I feel like I made $200/hr just by dedicating some time to tracking my money!
