If you really want to budget, the best thing to do is simply track everything you spend for 3 months. It's a simple exercise, you can do it by hand, put it in a simple spreadsheet, use Excel to do some graphing for you, or you can get as complex as using Quicken or Microsoft Money. The 3 month part is important because that will you get an idea of what your constant spending vs. one-time expenditures are. Having it all in front of you like that makes it much easier to see where your money is going and where you've got room to alter your habits.
