I'm the same way. As your earnings go up, your expenses tend to go up as well. I have found that most of my money goes to housing. I always want to feel safe where I live and I'm wiling to pay for it. Unfortunately, that means less money for luxuries and treats, but at least I can pay the bills and put a little in savings!
I hear ya on that one. $20 here, $10 there ... it all adds up until it's all gone. You might want to check out the news item posted on this page called "Where does your cash flow." It links to an article at msn about budgeting. Also, a couple of people have mentioned using mint.com to help track their expenditures.
