Whatever type of person you are, there is a record-keeping option out there for you… 

Super Awesome Tip #5 – E-Mail? What is E-Mail?

Okay, so you are still living in the cave man era – no judgment from us!

We suggest keeping a diary – you will probably need a chisel … Joking... Joking…

But seriously, just keep a diary – have separate tabs for your expenses (you could use the categories mentioned in Part One) write them down and keep the receipts for them – if you can, photocopy your receipts (if you don’t have a photocopier, most post offices and libraries will photocopy stuff for you).

And just like above, total your expenses at the end of the year.

Super simple and super easy!
