What I do is pay all the bills first before I spend any money at all. I live off $637 a month which makes it tough so I never have any extra money for clothes, shoes, etc. Just the bare necessities.

I gather all my bills and only pay the current bills (rent, utilities, etc.). Those are what has to be paid. Then with the other bills I pay as much as I can on each.

Always keep track of every tiny thing you spend your money on!!!! Don't go on a shopping spree!!! Resist those urges!!!
