Do You Keep Receipts?

[ckboddic]

I'm really just wondering if there is a need for me to do this. I know some people do and the whole concept seems odd to me for some reason. Also, I'm talking about receipts as they relate to my personal expenses.

If the point is just to find out what you are spending money on, you don't have to keep the receipts. Just keep a notepad, or keep records in a PDA. Write down everything you spend money on for a month. Put them in a spreadsheet, categorize it, and then you'll know.

If it's for another reason (like tax deductions?), let us know. (It's probably not deductible.)
