Third Step: Follow the Plan

After you have made the plan you just have to stick with it. Take a notebook, or make a worksheet, whichever works best for you, and daily input all your income and expenses. Review them weekly and see if you are within the planned figures, so as to know where you stand within your budgeting constraints. When you start recording your income and expenses you might discover interesting areas in which you might be able to save some serious money.
