It may not be the best service, such as a program like QuickBooks, but it's free and it's easy enough to use and you can access it anywhere you can access your email or the internet. Here's an example of how I keep track of my expenses. 

Have categories for the major things along the first column and then let each row be a different month of the year. Total up your expenses using the function feature (SUM A3:A37 for example) . And then force yourself to religiously enter these numbers on the 1st of every month. Preferably do it each week on a Sunday or Monday. 

Keep an envelope in your car if you are a rideshare driver like I am, and stuff those receipts in that envelope and then make an account of them each week! If you paid with cash... do not lose that receipt. If you paid with a credit card, you can reference it on your credit card statement if you lost your receipt.

If you're super anal about it you might go as far as taking a photo of your receipt or scanning in your receipts and saving them in a file on your computer as a backup, but I wouldn't go that far, unless you're making over $80k per year.

I like to use creditkarma.com to file taxes for free. I think it's also good for all rideshare drivers or social commerce workers. You know, the "sharing economy."
