Introducing our free spending tracker
Keeping track of your spending is one of the most effective ways to manage your finances and stay in control of your money. Without a clear record of where your money is going, it’s easy to overspend, fall short on savings, or struggle to reach financial goals. That’s why we’ve created our free spending tracker – a simple, user-friendly tool designed to help Canadians like you to monitor daily expenses, identify spending patterns, and take charge of your finances.
Why use a spending tracker?
At Spergel, we know that financial freedom starts with awareness and smart money management. Our spending tracker is designed to:
Help you understand your spending habits – see exactly where your money is going each day.
Prevent overspending – set limits and stay accountable to your budget.
Identify unnecessary expenses – spot patterns and make adjustments to save more.

How we helped Sarah to track her spending
Meet Sarah, an Ontario-based budgeter who thought she had her finances under control. She created budgets regularly and believed she was managing her money wisely. However, after tracking her spending for a few months with guidance from Spergel, she realized she was underestimating her daily expenses. With a clearer understanding of where her money was going, she was able to make adjustments and start saving effectively.
The challenge
Sarah’s challenge was a common one – while she had a budget, she wasn’t actively tracking her spending. Small purchases added up, preventing her from saving effectively.
The solution
Spergel encouraged Sarah to track every transaction, whether through debit, credit, or cash receipts. Initially skeptical, she committed to diligently recording her expenses for three months.
The results
By her second counselling session with Spergel, Sarah had saved $600 simply by identifying unnecessary spending and cutting back. She finally had savings, something she had struggled to achieve before.
Sarah’s Testimonial: “Tracking my spending was a game-changer. I thought I was budgeting well, but I didn’t realize how much small purchases were adding up. Thanks to Spergel, I saved $600 in just two months!”
