If your goal is to debt free or to be financially free, the first step is the same. Tracking your spending is the key to unlocking the plan that you need to go after your goals. You will be amazed how clear things can become once you get your spending on paper. A couple of the apps recommended in this video are mint and personal capital.

I went thru my bank statements for a year and added up what I spent my money on.. Food, and Amazon. ugh. I made a budget with everydollar app. I put in "income" the amount that I wanted to budget, regardless of what is in my bank account. That was the thing that changed it all for me.
