Why I do this

Microsoft Money generates a monthly report for me on spending. I like the reports, because it shows my progress, and where I'm sliding. For instance, I spent less this last month on dining out, groceries, entertainment, hobbies, utilities, and almost everything, except gas (partially out of my control)

The line that really made me happy?

Money calculates your net worth to be $2,290.68...
In January, your net worth was $-10,313.50.

That's an increase of $12,604.18 in SIX MONTHS! Now, a lot of that was reenlistment bonus, but it's proof that I spent that money wisely. This stuff works, and it works fast.
