My dad told me to track every single dollar for a month and I thought it was pointless

Honestly, he said to write down every coffee and grocery run for 30 days. I did it last March and found I was spending almost $90 a month just on vending machine snacks at my office in Phoenix. I cut that out and put the money towards my car payment instead. Has anyone else had a simple piece of advice that totally flipped their budget around?

Ever try the cash envelope trick?

Oh man, does it actually work? I did it for my grocery budget last year and it was a total game changer, really makes you feel the money leaving your hand.
