Question: I think it's so irritating..?

to keep track of my money...
I have a savings and checking account, a cd, a debit card, a 401K, a little money in stocks, and one credit card. I'm 19 years old. I hate keeping track of my money though. I've tried everything from making my own little sheets to fill out after every purchase, hanging onto every receipt... but I can't get myself to do it. I've read books like "On my own two feet: a girls guide to Personal Finance" and "Personal Finance for Dummies".
Any tips?
I just discovered GoogleDocs... it's like excel but a little easier :)

Answer: The easiest way to keep track of your money is by note everything you do i meant like buy a dollar note book and make different section for your saving, checking accounts, cd, debit card and your stocks. Example, then every time you use your credit card put the amount in the book how much you used it for and at the end of the month when the bill come or the statement then check if they match and this way you will know how much money you have spended and how much is left. I seen lot of people do that believe me i will grunted it will work for you also.
