<prompt> Human: So, Ive slowly realized I SUCK with money management. I grew up pretty fortunate and was raised as such. Now that Im a little grown my family doesnt give me as much spending money as they used to, and I work partime while in school. But oh man, I sure do live like Im spending my families money. 5 14 Ubers per week ubering too work out of SHEER LAZINESS. Not able to hold 250 in savings for very long before spending it on something unimportant like concert tickets. This sucks. So many of my friends have thousands in savings and im here unable to get to 400 bucks without spending. How do people get good at this? Im trying to develop these skills before I get my hands on real money. Today, my grandmother told me MistakenImperfection, just know that you will be well taken care of once I kick the bucket. First of all, that sucks. I dont want gramma to die. Second of all, I dont want to ruin all the hardwork shes put in because I cant save a dollar. Help me rpersonalfinance, youre my only hope :  <response>: Keep a journal and write down everything you spend. Then prioritize each item and stop spending money on items at the bottom of the list
