It's a unique method of tracking your purchases.
Debit cards and credit cards report in monthly statements what you've spent your money on.
Cash you can only keep track of if you save all your receipts...and that can be a pain and much more difficult than it sounds.
Introducing Twitter. And Text Messaging.
For those of you out there with smart phones, this is easy as pie. After making a purchase with cash only, send yourself a direct message over Twitter to make a record of the transaction. Or send yourself a text message. It's quick, it's easy, it's private, and later you can consolidate all your spending that you might forget by the end of the day...or have lost receipts for.
There's no need to do this all the time.
But when you're trying to hold yourself accountable for your spending and trying to figure out where all that money goes...this helps.
Identify the categories you tend to overspend in, and then work on that budget!!
