Pack Your Lunch!

It wasn't too long ago that I downloaded an app on my smartphone called "Spending Tracker" in a desperate pursuit to gain control of my frittering money. I first started using the app by placing my chequing account on record with the current balance entered in as the category of my salary income. Following this, I then began tracking each and every expense I had and placing the transactions of my card under different categories; phone bill, savings investment, bus fare, clothing, entertainment, and most expensively, food. After a week or so went by, the focus of my investments had been narrowed down and eating out began to become a shameful habit.
