Deposit all of the money that you make into a bank account and request a debit master or visa card . Use the card for every purchase you make and also when you need to take cash out of an atm. There are two positive spins on this; you never have too much cash on your person (which often saves a lot of money) and each month you will get a bank statement showing where all your money goes. Some banks don't mail monthly statements anymore. You will have to inquire at your bank but most banks do have online account access where you can view your account/transactions from home daily.
On the otherhand if your simply asking about software that helps you keep track of your finances, I would have to recommend Microsoft Money 2006. Good luck!

I've been using Quicken for 14 years to track my spending, investments, and net worth. The reports are excellent for figuring out where to cut back on spending.

I don't really like the service at Wells Fargo but I've found their online banking very useful. I can view my spending report at any time which breaks down what you spent in every category such as food, auto, department stores, tuition, ect. ect. for the given month. I'm sure most online banking has a similar feature.

Get a sheet of paper and write down everything you spend money on. From movie tickets to Starbucks. After a few months you will be able to make up a realistic budget and see what you are spending your money on. It is amazing how that pack of cigarettes and morning cup of coffee add up each month.

Keep a daily log of everything you in and everything you spend. It may seem like a lot of time but you will be surprised on what you can save on a budget.
