We should never underestimate the value of simply 'being aware' of what is coming in and going out. A lot of people just bury their heads in the sand, not even opening the post...etc - that can only lead to further problems! In addition to the book you mention, I find these resources helpful when it comes to dealing with personal finance: adviceguide.org.uk thinkmoney.com moneysavingexpert.com

Ten years, that’s great. I really need to practise better budgeting; it’s never “worked” for me; I make lists on the fly or do it in my head. It might be easier once one has a regular, dependable income.

One of the reasons for financial wealth building success that I have had was to do a budget and then I had a spreadsheet where I entered the actual expenses versus the budgeted amounts. I did this for about ten years and it helped me to be a very disciplined person handling money that I do not need to do a budget anymore.

Good job. I’ve done it myself at one point. It is hard to discipline yourself just to remember to write each little expenditure down. But it was an enlightening process in the end when I was able to look at all the totals. I’ll be doing it again soon, this time with this book in mind.
