<prompt> Human: Is there a way to set up my finances so I cant spend money on take out or junk food at the store? I make very little money and need to save every bit. What tips do you have to control spending. I have tried to budget but seem to spend anyway. Are there tools or services that could help?  <response>: I suggest a cash envelope system. It helped me get out of a pit and develop discipline. At the end of each period take surplus money from each category over to another envelope for incidentals. Then you can move on setting an emergency fund.
