If you post some of your expenses we might be able to help you come up with some guidance for a budget to work with. I've been helping my mother stretch her money until it screams, I may have some ideas to help with your expenses if you give me an idea of where your money goes.

That sounds like a great idea. Any ideas on how to accurately track them? I've tried it before but I always seem to fall behind. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and I could use all the tips I can get.
