... pay attention to how much you're spending?

/me keeps track of it mentally... and Quicken occasionally verifies that I'm in the ballpark.

I'm glad my SO isnt that restrictive ;)

and for the OP, Quicken or MS Money (ironic name isn't it) work well.

Use 1 credit card & pay by cheque. Keep all receipts and have weekly accounting assessment.

Create a spreadsheet. Take paycheck amount and then deduct for your bills. Take leftover as your spendable budget.
