<prompt> Human: For a while now Ive had a problem with spending all of my monthly spending money too fast. For example, if I decided that I get 100 every month as spending money I would end up spending all of it by the 15th. I would end up spending a little here, a little there, and all of these little purchases would add up without me realizing it. So what I did at the beginning of last month was instead of thinking that I have 100 to spend, I pretended like I had 0 and had to earned it throughout the month. So I would get 10030 3.33 everyday, and I couldnt spend anymore than I earned.This little simple change in thinking about my spending money allowed me to easily keep track of it. I actually ended up spending less than what I allocated. I hope this tip helps some other people.  <response>: Some people are being crabby...But the main thing is find what works and stick with it! Kudos to you, I too like to think of my budget for incidentals mostly food into 4 weeks rather than 2 pay-periods.
