I used to flow so much money through Mint, sit there and look at the neat pie charts and be in shock at how much money I was spending. Thing is I would never actually do anything because it didn't seem like I was REALLY spending that money.
Now inputting expenses in by hand really made me realize what things were worth, I always think twice about if I need something or if I should just eat at home instead because I think about putting that money into my budget.
I will definitely check out "You Need A Budget" though!
I use an Excel budget that I found online: http://www.fatwallet.com/static/attachments/238354_sample_budget_v3.xlsx
