okay, what money's coming in?

And they could total that up for me usually, right?

Like, okay, I'm getting paid this amount during this time.

And, you know, maybe I have this side hustle or if you're a business owner, right?

That's a little harder to track, but like I have, you know, these four clients and these are my revenue streams.

And then I would say, okay, where is that money going?

And they would kind of be like, well, I think it's going to this.

And then we would look at their credit card statements and they're like, just kidding.

I have no idea where the hell my money went.

Like, I don't know.

And if that feeling is your feeling of I look at my bank account and I'm like, I don't know where my money went, then this is the practice for you.

Yeah.

It's literally writing down every purchase you make, especially discretionary purchases for a period of time.

And it's not to shame you.

It's more just to watch what behavior and what sort of mindset you have.

So again, talk about this more in my book, but you do four things.

You write down where you spent the money or what you spent it on, how much.

So I went to Starbucks, I bought a $5 mocha, right?

And then why you made the purchase and how it made you feel.

I was meeting up with a friend and it made me feel great because I haven't seen her in a while.
