Before I kept a record of my budget I was pretty careless on how I spent my money. Once you have a credit/debit card you just swipe at everything. Now that I keep a record every time I make a purchase, it has helped a little in keeping me in check. Right now I'm living with my parents and going to school. Trying to keep my spending to about $800-$900/month (including phone bill and internet). Sometimes there are months where I have no choice but to spend it on emergency's, such as parts for my car so I would hit $1300. I don't know about you guys but to me that is a lot to spend. Being frugal is hard to do when you go out a lot and have friends lol.
