I recently tried to do a budget without any prep-work - what a headache! Had some major issues. These are pretty similar to what I ended up doing to get mine going! I set aside time at the end of every week to go through all of my receipts and make sure everything checks out. Best piece of advice I can give to people getting started - KEEP ALL YOUR RECEIPTS! Find a place you can store them - I just drove a nail through a piece of wood and stuck it to my kitchen wall where I won't bang into it. I put all the receipts on that and know where they are!
