Later this year when I've moved into my bus I'll want to be able to keep track of my expenses. I'm budgeting on a fixed annual income, any future earnings will be a bonus.
There are a lot of different kinds of outgoings: annual recurring, maintenance, travel, accommodation (sites/aires), daily living, bank charges and saving for future costs (new tyres for example) etc... How do full-timers or long-term tourers manage their personal finances, those who make the effort that is?
Software?
Manually in some kind of ledger?
I'm a terrible procrastinator and in my bricks & mortar life operated a system of piles of paper and "if it's in the bank then spend it". But until I manage to generate some additional earnings from a career change (at least a year) I'll have to learn to keep a very close eye on how much I'm spending.
I'd be interested in any recommended system and general advice based on people's experience
