If you're serious about building wealth, saving for your goals, or simply getting out of debt, there’s one rule you can’t ignore:
“You can’t grow money if you don’t track it.”
Many people want financial freedom, but few take the first step: understanding where their money goes. Without tracking, your money controls you. With tracking, you control your money.
Why Tracking Your Money Matters
-
Clarity
Do you really know how much you spend on food, transport, data, or small impulse buys every month? Tracking reveals your true spending habits — not just what you think you're spending. -
Better Budgeting
You can’t create a working budget if you don’t have accurate numbers. Once you start tracking, it becomes easier to plan and stick to your monthly limits. -
Spot Waste
Tracking your money helps you catch leaks in your finances — like subscriptions you don’t use or unnecessary daily spending. -
Faster Savings Growth
When you know exactly how much you earn and spend, it’s easier to carve out money to save or invest — consistently. -
Confident Borrowing
Planning to take a loan? Tracking helps you know how much you can repay comfortably and avoid overborrowing.
How to Start Tracking Your Money (Today)
-
Use a notebook or spreadsheet: Jot down all income and expenses daily or weekly
-
Set spending categories: Food, bills, airtime/data, transport, debt repayment, savings, etc.
-
Review weekly: Adjust your budget where necessary.
