A spending journal will help you a lot in tracking your expense low, this is my own personal experience, I realised I became more accountable when I keep a personal journal, everyday I update it with what I've spent and how much I made, It put things into perspective for me and I was able to limit my spendings and keep my expenses at bay, so if you're looking at keeping a spending journal, this is a good guide to help you.
1) Start Today: Starting a journal is practically free, you don't pay anyone anything, you just do it, I use the safe notes app from Google play, you can download and get started, it has a password feature and also has a cloud saving feature, so you can access it online easily, you can also secure it to restrict access from a third party.
2) Be Honest: Remember it is actually you against you, and you're trying to be accountable to yourself, so write everything as it is and make sure you record everything, every penny.
You can then compare or contrast at the end of the day and see if you're making progress on your journey or slacking off, you can then make appropriate change
