One of my favourite shows is Till Debt Do us Part. I used to be pretty bad with my money. No care. Max out the CC to $15000. Max out Credit Line. Then when I got married I changed. Spreadsheet everything I spend. It gave me a big "WTF moment". I was paying over $500 in interest per month on credit cards.
I have a business now and my wife is a teacher so my income is higher than I ever thought I could make, but I still track everything. It makes you feel good knowing where every penny is going and budgeting.
