Hi Ronnie,

They payee is where the receipt is from (example: Target) then you split the amounts up into the columns.

So if you bought $50 worth of things at Target, and $32 of it was groceries and the other $18 was a cute top – you’d put $32 under the groceries column and $18 under the Clothing column.

Hope that answers your question!

Is there a mock sheet available that is already completed? I have look in hopes that there would be one on the site for the expense tracker. Just trying to figure out how to align the top categories with the payee and other rows. Thaanks in advance

Tracking 100% of your expenses is an easy habit to get out of for sure! And you so right! There are so many “good” things to give to, but if you’re not keeping track you can end up in financial trouble yourself.

I need to start this habit again because fraudsters can steal your money without you knowing. I therefore need to keep track of what I’m spending and where.

That’s a really great idea. I didn’t know cashiers could do that for you.

I still sort between hot/cold/chemicals/etc, but but my priority is grouping each category of my budget. I ask the cashier to subtotal the amounts after each group. That way the math is done for me when I go to record it when I come home.

That’s exciting, Clydee! You can get your spending under control. Just remember, you are in charge of your money – it’s not the other way around.
