How to Control Your Spending 103: Developing a Hardcore Budget

When we start budgeting, we usually follow very broad topics like "food" and "entertainment."

However, once we get serious about getting ahead, we must divide those subjects into smaller sub-budgets to prevent slippage.

I call this hardcore budgeting, and it is a way to ensure you spend money where you want, not on random things.

After some trial and error, you will have a tight set of sub-budgets for food, gas, entertainment, and bills.

Altogether, you will know exactly where your money goes and why it went there. You will have complete control, allowing you to have total freedom. Good Luck!
