Many of us are trying to be better with money in 2009, and in order to do so we need to pay attention to where our money goes. A fun exercise I like to play when I need to check in with my spending is thinking of the last five things I spent money on. No expense is too small to be accounted for, so let's play, shall we? Here are the last five things that had me reaching for my wallet — share your last five in the comments!
- Cab ride
- Sunday dinner on my road trip
- Updo for a wedding (I was a bridesmaid)
- Coffee
- January rent!



1) cab ride to work
12) iced green tea to wake up
3) mega millions lottery ticket
4) cable bill
