Tried the "spreadsheet method" for budgeting and actually saved $230 in my first month

I was always told that tracking every penny by hand was the only real way to control spending, but after three failed attempts at using an app, I sat down with a simple Excel sheet I made myself and it worked better than any advice I got from those finance blogs.

Actually, tracking every penny by hand isn't the only way that works. You made your own spreadsheet, that's still tracking by hand essentially, just a smarter version of it.
