Update: My total cost for 3 days in Chicago just hit $217.
That's with a hostel, public transit, and cooking my own food, which felt impossible until I tracked every single dollar.

It's wild how tracking spending makes the impossible feel possible, you know?

Lol right? @ray_burns, tracking my spending just made me realize the impossible thing is me ever having money left for fun. It's like a horror movie where you watch your own bad choices in real time. You see that coffee charge and know you just murdered your savings account. The only thing it makes possible is a deep sense of regret every time I check the app.

Tracking seems to highlight the problem without offering a fix, like @schmidt.iris said. Does it actually change your habits, or just make you better at watching money leave? What's the step after you see the data?
