Review last week's spending

Look through the past seven days of purchases and note where the money went.

Why it helps

You can't adjust what you can't see. A quick look at one week gives a clear, non-judgmental picture of your habits.

How to do it

1. Open your bank app or receipts for the last seven days.
2. Group purchases into food, transport, home and other.
3. Write one sentence about what surprised you.

Make it easier

Check only the last three days.

Make it harder

Compare this week with the week before.
