For about the past year I have kept my receipts, in hope of receiving my bank statements and stapling the receipts to the back of my bank statement to show proof that I actually bought these items. Why I was doing this? I don't really know, at one point it seemed stupid, I know what I'm buying, but now I'm glad I did. I sorted them according to gas, clothes, food and other. Added them up and figured that I had spent atleast $1412.10 using my checking card.
Spent atleast
$422.65 on gas
$170.47 on food
$539.25 on clothes
$279.73 on other crap
...so that doesn't really tell me much except that maybe I wasted all this money, which doesn't really seem like a lot. Anyway, the whole point of this is that with every receipt, there's a little memory! Who I was with, what I was buying, the ridiculous things I was wasting my time on. I have a bad memory and this kind of helps.
