Take a detailed look at where your money is going.

 Open up your bank statement online and ask yourself what each and every charge on it is, even with the non-negotiable items like bills. Go look up the bill to see if that number is what you were supposed to pay, what you actually paid, and for what features you are being charged. Find the unnecessary expenses and feed your pig. Review every bill. Slash every feature you can live without. If you want to live a better life, make the hard choices.
