So here's a review of my first budget.
I didn't keep track of my budget by the end of the month. Keeping track of it by myself, is a REALLY big task! But I did find something amazing: www.mint.com
I linked up all my online checking accounts and it automatically tells me where all my money went. I was a bit surprised:
I spent $212 on Eating out last month. I need to get this down for my own health reasons and money.
I also spent $340 on shopping. I didn't even realize how much I spent on shopping!
For August, I'm going to focus my spending on one goal: Food consumption. My goals is to spend $75 on fast food this month ( I know that's still a lot, but I'm trying to reduce!) and about $30 in restaurants.
Wish me luck!

I started budgeting about a month ago, writing down everything I buy.
Wow. It's helping me already.
I'm definitely going to check out that finance website, Mint. I need to get a bit more organized before college.
Great post!
