What are some good ways to track your spending in college?
I am going to be attending a university and I will be living on my own. I don't have much money right now, so I was wondering what are some ways to track your spending and make sure that I will budget correctly. Should I just write down what I spend or are there other options such as phone apps that I could use?

There are some good youtube videos about how to budget your money, this is one and a method I like for for high school and college students just starting out, it can really help you from over spending and help you understand where your money is going

Hi Alec!
There is a really awesome app called YNAB (You Need a Budget). It's really easy to use budgeting software and it's free for students!
You need a PC to link with the current free one (YNAB 4), but it's a really awesome app that I love!
