Tracking your expenses is an essential habit that can help you avoid excessive spending and develop a better financial future. By keeping a record of your spending, you can identify areas where you are overspending and find ways to cut back. Additionally, tracking your expenses can help you create a budget and stick to it, which can lead to more financial stability and freedom.

It's also important to track the expenses of others, such as family members or business partners, to ensure that everyone is staying within their financial limits. This can be especially important in situations where you are sharing expenses or have joint financial responsibilities. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your next thread.

One way to avoid excessive spending is, you have to the think and decide what to do or buy before purchasing a particular product, ask Your self: do I really need the products, will I be able to afford it.Do I need the products just because my friends are using that same product? This are the questions to consider to avoid excessive spending.

Some time you may have noticed that you went to the market to buy goods, the trader told you its 50 naira but maybe probably you bought it and later you find out that, that same product is 30 naira sold by another trader. What am trying to say is you have to GO AROUND THE MARKET.
