A tracker is easier to keep when it starts with the information you already have, such as receipts and account statements. Start with a few broad spending labels and review them at the same time each week.
What to compare
Use these examples to make a short list and decide what to check before committing.
| Situation | Option to consider | What to check |

| Flexible spending | Groceries and transport | Use broad categories |
| Irregular expenses | Gifts and repairs | Add a note for context |
