Alyssa Navia, Boston College, says "It's hard to be cognizant of all of your expenses when you are doing so much things and leading a fast-pace life. It can get to a point when you can mindlessly spend money because it becomes a routine. I would recommend writing down all of your major expenses from going to the grocery store to picking up a coffee on the way to work. This should be done to gain a better understanding of your weekly expenses and how to manage your resources." This will give you an indicator of how you might be spending your pay check in the future.
